The problem our industry faces is that a large percentage of the people who own the ad networks are also pirates or used to be pirates themselves.
Here is more from the article:

The best practices adopted by the eight companies build on the framework of the Interactive Advertising Bureau's quality assurance guidelines. As part of the code, the companies have agreed to adopt policies prohibiting websites that are principally dedicated to selling counterfeit goods or engaging in copyright piracy from using an ad network's advertising programs. They also agree to independently monitor where ads are running and establish a complaint process when rights holders find websites that are infringing on copyrights or selling counterfeit goods.

If only adult would have done something like this five years ago. Of course we all know why they didn't. The crooks are in charge. So now your paysites make 1/10th of what they used to and affiliates are on the boards begging for money if they are still around at all.
Now think of all the pieces of human dogshit who were involved in this and left the industry within the last half decade. They are now sipping martinis on the money they sold for while you bust your ass for pennies.
