Why not? There's something wrong with being prolific now?
They didn't scam anyone into buying them, or say "please buy these to save our house."
They were able to quickly produce stories that people are willing to pay for, and seem to want more of. I wish I could. As far as I can tell, it's no sure thing to make a living as a self published writer, period.
The news story here is just that things fell into place for them right when they most needed it to. That's nice.
As for the piracy angle....nah, I doubt any pirate will care.
