well, first off, I did not ask how they made money on the internet. You did.
To answer your question though, Suze and Vivid make their money through licensed content.
Affiliate programs that may give their content away for free have license to do so, and they are making their money from advertising and signups to their programs
No one makes money by having their stuff stolen, unless it is insured and they are pulling an insurance fraud scam
