Possibly. But I find it difficult to believe that even a "casual" pirate doesn't install AdBlockPlus, and even more difficult to believe that any pirate is going to waste time clicking on ads.
I don't recall ever seeing any proof that pirate websites make 100,000s of dollars in monthly ad revenue. If they do then I think they've really suckered some ad company somewhere, and I can't feel a lot of sympathy for any ad company, particularly one that silly.
