Here is the thing. She is not the publisher and neither is her brother.
If the publisher wanted it on a pirate site, they would have done it.
When you have a publisher, the author cannot publish any part without violating their contract.
She signed a contract. She has no rights to tell the publisher what to do.
She put it on a pirate site. Pirate sites are illegal. Therefore, she is no better than they are.
If the publisher agreed which is doubtful, then they are also guilty of conspiracy to commit a crime.
She is just pissed because she did what many little authors do and lost readers.
Oh first and second books sold well so I don't have to worry, I can write crap and they will buy for the name.
Oh and that best seller list. The amount varies wildly to get on it. Even for the really big need authors
