It wouldn't surprise me if the media companies eventually try to take down well known VPN providers or force them to block the same sites too. They have done the NZB indexers, squeezed the financing options for binary newsgroup providers, got some torrent sites blocked, get google to remove millions of links a month, File Lockers like Mega and others and using that to force others to stop, using paypal to stop payment to some torrent sites and now going for the attack on ad providers as well as talking to those placing ads. So VPN's will be on the list in one way or the other.

Anyone can setup a VPN or use free ones, Tor or even simple http/php proxy sites to bypass the blocks. The media companies just want to stop those not so determined or new to downloading.
