For the most part I think the goal here is to regain paying subscribers that turned to pirating over the years of it becoming such easy access.... and after an incident like the WP Board, or hopefully Lightspeed's case, it shouldn't be a hard sell.
I don't think anyone expects people that have always pirated to suddenly start paying

There's too much on that blog to read through for me to tell quickly whether he just went after the site owners, the donators, and the uploaders or whether he went after the downloaders too.
Downloaders just move site or are already on many sites taking stuff.
Uploaders seem to have a favourite site to post on. Out of the many sharing forums (which all seem to operate a similar policy to here of don't post other sites) i'd be surprised if there was even mass knowledge of WP-Board outside of it's members.
