While I have no sympathy for this woman, something in her story does concern me. "we have had so much hate email (over 400 pieces) , phone calls and regular mail." She violated some copyright. That is an issue between her and the copyright holder. I feel slightly ashamed to be part of a community (Not HN specifically, but the more global software community) that responds with hate mail and abuse.

As soon as something is "made into a facebook group", all bets are off, I suppose. This kind of abuse is rarely (if ever) justified, so I agree with you, but I would also add that it's her making this statement and I have kind of stopped trusting that voice.
