clicks can always be sold though... the site owner doesn't have to send them to an affiliate program and they don't have to convert. there are never a shortage of people buying clicks on torrent sites through ad networks.
however, if people could actually get companies like AFF to stop supporting theft and copyright violations, it would be a huge step. i dont think it would be the one and only nail in the coffin, but it would be a huge step in making it less rewarding.
what about people who just use them for traffic generation? like torrentspy.com/spikedhumor.com for example.
the more i look at this, the more i think it requires some pretty serious US/EU legislation to actually begin to curb it. its nice that people like Far-L talk about suing someone, but its also a little silly and rediculous to think that if Microsoft and major movie studios can't do anything about it, that a small time CA pornographer is going to successfully challenge them. its great that he's trying... god knows he loves a crusade... but starting a losing fight, its going to do more harm than good overall imho.
