If people are going to waste their time downloading things they don't want, that's their problem. But it's an even bigger problem if they
keep doing it...

One thing that can be concluded from that comment:
Lots of people will repeatedly do stupid things. If they knew the book was not finished, but they downloaded it a chapter at a time anyway... then did not pay, knowing that too few payments would kill the project... whose fault is it for not getting the whole book? And whose time did they waste? Their own. I'll bet King isn't losing sleep over dim bulbs like that.
Granted, paying for an unfinished book chapter by chapter isn't my idea of selling a book. (If it was
finished, maybe. And certainly at a lower price.) But you can only say one thing about people who thought it was a stupid idea, and participated anyway, in such a way as to guarantee its failure...
