Lets clear things up. Bittorrent, the protocol: is still live and kicking, with more and more users all the time, both legit and nonlegit. This wont be affected by the change. Bittorret, the client: has already been declining for a while, alternate clients get more and more users (uTorrent, Azureus, etc) because of either better performance, or functionality. This wont change either, as the alternate clients will keep growing. Bittorent.com, the website: Has always been marginally at best as a search engine for torrent files, there are speciality sites for people seeking access to non-legit content. The fact that they are filtering content won't change anything in regards on how the users that want to access nonlegit content use the same sites they've been using for a while (such as The Pirate Bay and similar). This wont change much either. The only thing that we might see decline rapidly over time is the bittorrent.com site users, as they flock to other sites that accomplish what they want to. mmm…no.

This manouver won't change anything at all, at least not with the market they want to target (the guys that get episodes and movies). Everything will be exactly the same as it is today.
