It brings the topic to the attention of a wider audience. It's just been mentioned on the BBC News at 1, though they did add their own corporate spin on it. They said it was a pirate site, and showed pictures of the owner's mansion house and pink Cadillac.
No mention was made of the fact things like this will affect all sites that allow unmoderated user content, but if it gets people curious enough to go and have a look on the internet for further information they will find out that way. For now, anyway.
