Then he removed it? You do know you can't really remove stuff from the internet? Pretty much everything is cached and proxied. So, he is going to have a hard time ensuring that it is removed from all those cached locations and I'm not sure calling people that access those caches pirates is quite fair.

If, however, he posted it on his web site with a stipulation that it must not be reposted elsewhere, then to repost it is copyright infringement, pure and simple, regardless of whether or not it was free. Many people have things available for download on their web sites, which it's not legal to repost anywhere else.
