OK, so Piwik gets our personal information, which no doubt disqualifies 
OpenNIC from Prism-Break (which is where I first learned about it), but who 
gets the ad revenue and referral money from this?

I once dealt with something similar, a local nonprofit who then had a broken 
Web site, with a CMS (IIRC Joomla) that had nothing to do with and no effect 
on the actual Web site, which was run by a person nobody could get in contact 
with anymore, yet had something along the lines of Piwik or Google Analytics 
at the bottom of the page which he was still profiting from, and the 
nonprofit got nothing out of the deal.

Again, who gets the ad revenue and referral money? Some ghost treasurer for 
OpenNIC?
