trust me, as content producer i really dislike torrents, p2p and so on. and i have never downloaded a single byte from Pirate Bay.
But the world evolves and as long the site exists and it's not illegal to advertise on there, someone will do it.

It will actually be illegal to adverise on sites like the pirate bay soon (Protect IP Act), and rightfully so. You cannot profit from advertising on a site that attracts it's traffic by means of criminal acts of copyright infringements.
Yes it is always possible to develop something that cannot be stolen, but giving up on piracy means giving up on the whole realms of legitimate commerce that can only exist when intellectual property is protected.
It is NOT ethical to earn your living by destroying other people's lives, or assisting in that by sponsoring sites like tpb.
