Mr. Keene acted entirely properly and within the law. He has every right to feel aggrieved that someone whom he thought was a supporter of his work would betray his trust in this way.

Yes, he can feel how he likes but
he gave it away. Do the recipients of his gift have no rights over what became their property?
I get that that his wishes weren't adhered to but by that point he was asking for a courtesy. As I said, if he had charged for his works
first and only later gave them away we wouldn't even be discussing this.
Creators all over the internet are making money from their works, but not using Keene's techniques.
There always have been and always will be those who simply take and see no reason to contribute or that any rules apply to them. Keene misjudged, and it's not due to declining morals. Same as it ever was.
