Any bux is bad bucks. It adds up, too, across all their other illegal activities. Too bad now, though, that those people, when confronted, will say that they are free to distribute it because it's been released by the author. Until then, they'll keep on pirating and saying stuff like "the author never contacted me so I thought it was abandonware". Lame.
