Hate to say it but so far I've only seen ONE approach to P2P piracy that's putting fear into content thieves. Steele, like him or not, is only of only a few guys making a dent while also making his clients money instead of costing them money. People who hate him are usually) 1) other layers, or 2) content thieves. Not surprising that those used to a free lunch don't like what he's done.
When I see stories about Steele in the mainstream it's interesting to read the comments after... some people don't like "free" being threatened and complain, while others say they completely understand that porn companies own their property and it isn't right to swipe it. No different from Hollywood content being swiped.
