A tremendous amount of expense where? Servers are cheap, bandwidth is cheap and they don't do trackers or even serve torrent files now, and they don't produce content.

The only thing there's a tremendous amount of is ad impressions.

Like I said, that's all dealt with on the OP thread. Did you not read it? No? Let's review then:

1. Legal costs. 2. Operators for each mirror. 3. High prices for server costs. 4. Multiple residences. 5. Difficulty in attracting large advertisers.
