How is the rich shitting on the poor? What's up with your mentality? If people were poor they wouldn't even have the net to begin with. This is simply a case of a man who is having is stuff stolen and going after the people contributing to it.
Just because you can get something online for free doesn't mean that it is. People need to be re-educated about this, and this is the problem, more so than the actually theft. The mentality of "well it's already on the net, so it must be free" is no different than me walking past my neighbors house as he's packing for vacation, he leaves his suitcase on the curb next to his car as he goes it to make sure the stove is off, and I grab it saying, "well it was on the curb, so it must be trash, and therefore free." I think what Steve is doing here is also about re-educating the nitwits who think everything on the net is for free. Once a few thousand get served, word will spread, and then you will see a decrease. God Speed Lightspeed.
