I assumed this would happen if you don't pay the fines - do they just shrug then and go and hound someone else?

You've been harping on about this for 6 days and haven't found one person who agrees that this law is a good one. Extrapolating out from the feedback in this thread it would imply that 95% people don't agree with this law. More concrete figures are difficult to find so I can only provide indicators.
The first torrent site I found, Minnova, stated that it has supplied 12 billion torrents but obviously there are lots of different torrent sites available. Checking on CNET I found a single torrent finding tool had been downloaded 20 million times but obviously there are hundreds of these tools and hundreds of sites to download them from.

to me it just indicates a simple response to the overpricing of media these days.
