What is the ruling on money earned from promoting and uploading pirated software via a website that displays ads?

It is not permissible to distribute pirated software, as this infringes upon the rights of its developers, leading to an encumbrance of one's conscience. As for money earned from viewing advertisements, its ruling depends on the nature of the advertisements; what is permissible among them, it is permissible to earn from, and what is forbidden, it is not permissible. The sin of violating the rights of the owners of pirated software remains.
