I typed in "name of book free download" in a search engine and saw not too far down the line about 5-6 other (likely illegal) places it could be downloaded, so clearly he doesn't seem to take too hard of a line on piracy.

Though Goodkind may seem like real jerk, maybe even he thinks jailing someone in this one instance is a little drastic.
As far as what's on Google, I don't see how any author's stance on piracy can be gauged by what's available illegally. He may have have filed for 20 DMCA takedowns yesterday and 50 today. I really would imagine that it's a lot like Whack-a-Mole.
