If the download and if you like it buy it model works so well, and the only reason the pirate bay is a piracy haven is because the copyright holder (really the gatekeepers) refuse to embrace the new model (because it hurt their existing control)

This is more about one company using a monopoly to destroy a competiting business model then protecting sales.

Just because it does not stop piracy does not mean the natural conclusion is that prosecution causes more of it.

You know this.
if it doesn't stop piracy, then by definition it can only do two things nothing or increase piracy.

He is saying it increases piracy because the stats of the pirate bays site are Increasing.
