you have a good point with 'paid' sites. it seems to me that they should be the first targets because the operators are directly profiting from the swindle.
Have some karma

Paid sites are the real pirates. Making money off this sort of stuff is wrong. However file sharing sites may be closed but others emerge to replace those closed down. It is a pyrrhic victory at best.

Evolve a better business model? Nope, I doubt they could ever conceive the notion let alone implement such change.
