We do go after forums, blogs, link lists as well. We have over 40,000 of them in our databases and around 2% of those are responsible for around 80% of traffic received by sites in that list.
Some of these sites are really big in terms of numbers of users and traffic they receive.
Planet Suzy is an obvious one, but that's not the biggest by a stretch.
Knocking out forums/blogs with advertising requires taking away their ad income, some ad networks and some sponsors, including sponsors active on GFY, don't care about piracy. In fact I would go so far as saying that at least one large cam sponsor actively goes out trying to get the business of large pirate sites.
These challenges lead us to pursue novel options, some of which will take time to come to fruition. In every case hitting the finances or infrastructure of piracy operations or those who support the piracy operations is the most effective strategy, along with having domains seized and web hosting disrupted.

The law has always been behind when it comes to the advances on the net and piracy is no exception.
Just as merchant acquirers, banks, financial service providers are being educated about cyberlockers and the high risk nature of them, Government needs to be educated about the online piracy problem and the most effective ways to combat it.

Is this where society is headed?

I agreee.
The pirates will come up with endless justification for what they do, however none of them get over the basic fact that a rights holder has the right to determine who uses their content and on what terms.
People complain the distribution system is at fault, or that prices for content are too high so they have a right to steal it. Well I'm sorry, it's not a human right to be able to watch the latest episode of Game of Thrones at low cost.

As long as we can remain an irritant to pirates then I'm happy.
