Sites that started as pirates can became legitimate and very important for their sector. Crunchyroll is about a completely different sort of intellectual property, but it is a great example of those, I subscribed them when they went legit and I am very glad they are successful (reported 700.000 subscribers last week and that is absolutely huge for the sector).
The problem about Good E-Reader is that even if they went legal, their reporting is biased and badly presented. Biased reporting doesn't inspire confidence and trust.
What I am trying to say is, if a pirate web site decides to go legitimate, they might deserve support in the start of endeavour; but they have to prove themselves for continuing support. That is the problem with Good E-Reader. They went legal, not honest. Actually, if they were a TV program in the Continent, Kobo and others can even file for unfair competition with some hope of success.
That is why people dislike it, it is not the past, it is failure to make up for it. Fixing isn't the same thing as making amends, no?
