This article comments the situation when people was falsely accused of
wrongdoing.  Making advices to be "more exigent about the software" and
to respect the law is absolutely inappropriate in such context.  And it
was party's deliberate choise not to raise question of abusive nature of
copyright law itself -- i.e. party didn't "call for legal means to
change the current situation".
