No matter what they do, change DNS, Sites, Method, Wording, Whatever the one thing that should be don'e is the constant removal of the top pirate places in what ever form they may come in. 90% of all users will be to lazy to search for new sites.
Advertising pirate sites should be illegal as well and everything else you said. But getting rid of the top players kinda solves 90% of the problem and this is not too bad IMHO.

Taking down the X number sites won't really stop (or even put a dent in piracy)
Take torrents for example: as long as people have the .tor files on their computers and the torrent program running files will still spread no matter is the tracking sites are up or down.
and it takes nothing to toss up a new torrent tracker site.
The scope is just really too big, between IRC, newgroups, deepweb, lockers, message boards, torrents, chans, password sites (org started by own own industry
) etc etc etc
The genie is out of the bottle, can't put it back in, the ONLY thing you can do now is to take steps to protect your 'current and future' content and ATTEMPT to 'educate' your surfers and or members that getting ANYTHING without paying hurts everyone. (long shot I know) AND as I said before offer stuff that can NOT be pirated.
