Re: Then 17 new ones appeared...
You are comparing apples to oranges in attempt to push for a scary hyperbole. Instead you should compare it to the countries that practice similar censorship, such as Finland. We had piratebay blocked something like a year or two ago by a similar court order. And yes, sadly it worked exactly as intended - piratebay popularity among locals is down. Most people don't even know that they can easily access it.
VPNs etc don't become "public knowledge", or more accurately "widely used" because such bans are very narrow and specific, and as a result anyone with understanding on how to set up VPN won't bother - they will be able to circumvent the ban through much simpler means. For example, I just use http://proxybay.info/ to get to a mirror when I need to get something from piratebay. I could set up a VPN, but that would take far more time and effort than needed to simply circumvent the entire ban though a proxy use.
This is the same issue - the ban is so narrow and specific that technically inclined people who would be setting VPNs under China-style great firewall internet management setup will just circumvent the entire thing though a proxy use, while those who are the actual targets of decision, those without this knowledge will start looking for a different site to use or, as those who sought the decision hope, move to buy the content instead.

Re:Even if the proxy goes down..
There are are hundreds of other TPB proxies out there. Taking one down will cause issues for 1 or 2 days until people find another proxy site.

Yes, but it's important that BPI sue people on a regular basis so that this information stays in the news.
