And while checking all links is certainly not feasible, there's no other method either that is bound to get you accurate data.

Do you honestly believe that Rapidshare is offering a legitimate service that has nothing to do with piracy? Do you really believe that they aren't making their money from people paying to quickly download copyrighted material? Do you really believe you have to explicity share a list for others to find it? These are rhetorical questions as I know the answers already.
