Ad networks that directly or indirectly fund piracy sites will run into very difficult times once they are held accountable for such behaviour. I have used this phrase before and I will use it again, slowly slowly catchy monkey.

Some file lockers have complex webs of corporate entities and use these to obtain merchant accounts by misleading the acquirers about the nature of payments. Others have long standing merchant relationships with acquirers which existed before acquirers became fully versed in the risk profile of file lockers.
There has been a lot of work undertaken by risk companies to educate acquirers and other parties within the card networks about the risks presented by the file locker industry. We have also lobbied banks hard when we become aware of relationships with file lockers. As a result it is very difficult to obtain merchant accounts for file lockers now.
There is still considerable work to be done in this area and it's a large, time consuming task that requires lots of meetings, a great deal of research and compilation of data.
Although we don't report them, there have been several high profile merchant terminations in recent weeks. One file locker was actually without any payment processing for about nine days as they scrambled to replace their last remaining merchant account.
There are very few file lockers accepting Paypal now. The most obvious of these is Mega and we along with other industry groups have expressed our displeasure at this arrangement. There is work going on in the background by third parties which will affect the future and viability of Mega going forward. Some of these things take a great deal of work to bring to a resolution and Mega is no exception.
