There are certainly some cases where this makes sense. In the extreme case, suppose someone uploads a full copy of a new movie. It seems unlikely the studio would make up for the revenue from lost ticket sales with just ads. They might be violating contracts with their distributors as well.

Yeah I wasn't necessarily thinking full movies or things like that. More like things that maybe skirt the line for fair use.
