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.

I see Goodkind books all the time online that haven't been taken down. I think what drew Terry's ire is that this dude rubbed his nose into it. I'm sure he knows his books are pirated to an extent but to come into "his house" and offer up said pilfered wares was an insult he couldn't let stand. Its one thing to know it, an entirely other thing to have it pushed in your face.
I think he did the right thing. No use wasting court time on something that could be, and was, handled with a spanking.
