Someone infringed copyright, someone publicly called him out. Fantastic use of free speech IMHO. Let the public know what happened and decide for themselves. Why are people afraid to call a thief a thief? IP theft is wrong and illegal. Period.
I'm puzzled by words like vigilante, posse, mob, lynch. Comparing a lawless hanging to outing a copywriter thief??? I don't see it, not even as useful hyperbole.
No aff with the author--looks like someone I would never read but who knows the value of his labor and didn't just roll over. all discussion of poverty, wealth, corporate greed etc. is scurrilous. Theft is theft.
