I think there are three reasons:
-- Tried and failed with SOPA, as already noted by Stonetools
-- Advertisers don't directly choose which sites their banner ads will appear on.
-- Same reason no one is going after people who have admitted to piracy on this web site (we could argue over what that reason is; I'm just saying that, whatever the reasons are for prosecuting neither advertisers nor individual downloaders, those reasons overlap)
See:
