Oh, I agree entirely. I suspect the "File Sharing" sites may have the same issue. I wonder how many people charge-back the payment for "Download GoT S05E01.mp4 here"?

File sharing sites are definitely scam central. There are entire sites built around advertising pirate downloads of niche content via pay-only download sites which are actually just files filled with null bytes, then profiting from the referral fees.
