Most people don't run an adblocker on their phone, and these torrent sites would cease to exist or become malware sites themselves if enough users used adblock.

Let's not kid ourselves- these site runners are not Aaron Swartz.

Nobody is getting their books from torrent sites. They get ePubs or PDFs from Anna's Archive or LibGen.
