It is still not right if you deny the guy your advice but take no further action like reporting him to authorities. Because in such case how do you know that he isn't joking?
Besides I wouldn't compare this case with a crime. It is rather on the level of speeding. If your car broke down due to going too fast and you went to auto mechanic he can still fix it even if you brag about your driving. Probably not on warranty but fixing cars is not illegal. Discussions about fixing speeding cars are also ok. The problematic part would be where you discussed how to speed and avoid getting caught. You would want to avoid hosting such things publicly.
But then she didn't tell the whole story only after the thread was closed. Not everybody would assume that converting djvu into mobi indicates piracy. This case has nothing to do with DRM, it was just a scanned paper book. Apparently there is a fine line about how far you can go and still be considered legal. The whole thing is very arbitrary and does not make much sense anyway.
