notify the company that they are hosted on that they are copyright and to take them down (filesonic? in this case). I've never done it but my understanding is that to be able to accept paypal they have to have a policy to do so.

The files are hosted on Filesonic. Contact them to report abuse and get the files removed: http://www.filesonic.com/report-abuse (http://www.filesonic.com/report-abuse)

This is the best way to deal with heroturko, since it leave the download link on their site but it'll be inactive, which should frustrate the heroturko users. :)
