The pirate ruined his public image all by himself --- by uploading and bragging about it. Uploading is not a small and insignificant child's prank, it is a serious challenge to the author's livelihood. The author should have done both, out AND sue the guy.
What is happening now is exactly what the author probably intended to happen -- no vigilantes are going after that lowlife, but a lively discussion has ensued and people have been educated.
