There are a lot of people who are hopping mad about the advertisers and there are bills in congress aimed at making advertising on pirate sites illegal. . But those advertisers and Google have lobbyists fighting this, and they have a lot of power Remember the SOPA battle? Part of that concerned ads on pirate sites.
