I don't think that was the reason at all, I would put it down as misguided enthusiasm more than anything else. The person in question was an active fan, who was probably personally responsible for introducing Keene to a lot of other readers. What he did was just an extension of that, using something that was given away for free anyway in a different form. Despite the impression Keene gives, he wasn't pirating all the commercial releases too, that was other people.
BTW, the forbidden text in question still exists in full on Keene's website, and also on his Goodreads blog.
