The Trumpet Winsock story had to do with commercial actors "stealing" software and mass-redistributing it for profit.
This story has to do with people "stealing" software for their own private use without paying.
Given the existing level of confusion in all piracy discussions, I believe it is counterproductive to lump these two scenarios together.
