"An initiative that hopes to cut off advertising revenues from websites offering illegal copyrighted material has been launched.

It will see the creation of an online database of websites "verified" as being illegal."

"It is hoped that firms that handle advertising will use the resource to make sure they do not serve advertising on those sites, cutting off revenue.

Top piracy sites generate millions of pounds thanks to advertising.

One estimate, from the Digital Citizens Alliance - a group backed by rights holders - suggested that the top 30 piracy websites worldwide generated $227m (£137m) from advertising revenue each year.

Smaller sites still command revenues into the hundreds of thousands, the group said."
