I don't like it either... I tried to shut down one site, but the owner just moved his server to HongKong. In HK they don't have any kind of copyright law that would fit for this specific violation, so when I contacted the host, they wouldn't take down the site. However, if the owner of the actual game (ie. SquareEnix) were to contact the host, then all would be taken down.
Sadly, however, I feel that the site would then just move on to a server in another country, and the annoying process would start all over again. Although Byuu would kill me for saying this, it's almost tempting enough to make the game unplayable on real hardware just to thwart these jerks making money off of our years of hard work.
