I think the one in your link is a different kind of worm. There are very rare worms that will be this big and are actually carnivores. They are definitely bad but are not the same type as regular bristle worms and again are very rare.
Sorry, I don't have more detailed facts, but that's what I've heard. Maybe someone can fill in the details.
From what I've seen bristle worms are very beneficial. They've gotten a bad rap because they have been seen to be eating something you don't want dead, but if they are regular bristle worms, the object was already dead before they started eating it.
