Not sure what piracy has to do with this.
The point is that you've specifically let people do something then when they do it you're upset they did it.
If you don't want them to do it, don't explicitly allow them to do it. There are plenty of licenses which would have stopped this.
I voted the grandparent up about the license allowing it. But things being allowed isn't a benchmark for them being decent.
I don't think we should stone adulterers. But I also think cheating on your partner can mean you're an asshole.

A fair point. But having the internet turn on you before you get any traction is also probably going to be a death-knell for an early stage company. It doesn't bode well for their ability to make or raise money.
