I think this also hurts the attempts by people to make unsupported software
freely distributable, as it demonstrates there may be money to be made (thus
a better motive to lock such things up on the part of the original owner).

It also paints other unrelated (and presumably somewhat more honourable, even
in the context of warez) warez sites with a similar sleazebrush by sheer
perceived association.
