Just because someone is financial well off doesn't mean it's okay to steal from them. His books are HIS copyrighted property and he has every right to be upset if some jerk takes it upon himself to take it and distribute free copies to people. Every person who got a pirated copy didn't buy it, which takes income away from him. That's stealing.
Yeah that.
If I made an application, sell it, makes money from it and all, I know I would still be upset if someone steal my work.
Worse being people actually making profit from pirated work.
