I see one possible approach. A PP hosted/controlled landing page that is
aimed specifically at people using certain types of file sharing to
commit copyright infringement.

You can clearly, and up-front, disavow any approval of copyright
infringement ("Don't join the Pirate Party if you just want free TV and
movies"), then present the aspects of PP philosophy that they might care
about. Most coming from somewhere like TPB will just leave, but you'd
net some.
