I got NO problem with what Goodkind did. (Assuming he can prove the guy he fingered is guilty, Goodkind is responsible for any mis-identification that may occur) This guy didn't just take it for himself, he put out there for everyone to use.
Intellectual property is still property, it doesn't matter if Goodkind is rich or not. His JOB is to write entertainment text for money, this guy made it difficult for him to make money. And in my experience, writing is HARD work. The last I heard there is no such thing as the right to be entertained at the expense of someone else.
I think Jerry Pournelle did something like that once.
