Heathrowe seems like a pretty decent fellow
Very decent. It's unfortunate that his site is subject to improper advertising. It's unfortunate that something as easily traceable as a website can't lead to criminals.
I have Photoshop and other software, I could start spinning copies and selling them for $45 a pop, and I could probably make a successful venture out of it. However it's a lazy man's approach to poaching profits.
If his website offered adverts for child porn or illegal drugs, it wouldn't matter than he is a nice person, what would matter is that he allowed solicitation through his medium. I'm no web-lawyer, but I have a feeling that those circumstances would lead to an investigation. A blind eye is on the face of the law when it comes to software piracy.
