That's true, but it's more likely to be to dramatically reduce TPB's advertising income. With whole countries cut off, their hit rate will plummet, so they won't be as attractive to advertisers. Casual users will just gravitate to one of the other torrent sites that Google directs them to instead

They would be more likely to just use the VPN for the torrent file (a few kb) and then download normally when they have it.
