As to whether Goodkind has committed any offences - I'm wondering about 'vigilantism' type offences?
Yes - it appears Goodkind has reacted and acted on the words of the person who stated that they pirated his book, but, the extent to which Goodkind then reacted may, or may not , be considered vigilantism.
Yes or no?
And is it a recognised offence in Goodkind's part of the world?
If it is - then it wouldn't matter that the person that he outed was in another country and that the action was via the internet, because ostensibly the police in his local town would arrest him based on the fact that the actions occurred in their jurisdiction.
Speculation on my part, but Goodkind's actions do seem to have the connotation of taking the law into his own hands by the degree of the 'outing' he gave the person.
