I don't condone the piracy, or the stupidity of bragging about it, but it still seems to me that the author's response was totally disproportionate.

There are a lot of nuts. Suppose some misguided fan were to go after this pirate--that would be Goodkind's responsibility.

I think that a letter threatening legal action would probably have been more than enough.

I don't know anything about this author, but I now have an image of him as a nasty jerk and a self-righteous bully.
