Not even close.

All three authors have taken the piracy personally, but each took a different approach.
Kress tried engagement and education and got slapped in the face for it.
Ellison went all pitbull and actually had some very minor success in court.

Goodkind went for shame and scorn.
He called him what he is.
He didn't call for any action so he isn't responsible for anything else.
Depending on the laws where he lives the most he is liable for is a libel suit and if he has any kind of evidence linking the guy to the piracy he's in the clear.

Going underground until it all blows over is the best course of action for the pirate.
He's probably just an amateur who never stopped to think there might be consequences for "giving back to the community". Unlike the waste of DNA making money of Kress' book in russia.
