There's really not a way to twist this around and make independent game developers the bad guys. You can try all you want but the fact remains that they're just trying to sell a product they put time and money into.

    First off, no one pirated the game. The company put a copy up itself, you can't have anyone steal what you gave away.

This is a semantic that completely misses the point if you actually believe it.
