Some probably will think twice, though others will just see an opening/opportunity to fill a void here. Whenever I've heard about drug crimelords, or organized criminals of any kind, who got busted after getting rich, I think why didn't they just give up after their first several million?
Maybe they're idiots, or maybe, like 'legit' billionaires, the money is just a byproduct of them doing what they like doing. Either way filesharing sites will not stop, especially when they not in and of themselves illegal or criminal.
Edit: And good luck giving 50 years to someone from a country that does not bend over and take it from Uncle Sam, the way US satellite states like NZ or the UK do.
