Yeah, but that's not the comment I was responding to.

I understand the issue of making money drawing attention to the piracy they (supposedly?) participated in. But there is nothing wrong with the money they got for their development efforts. That money is not a counterpoint to them being victims, regardless of whether they actually are victims or not.

I doubt any meaningful amount of it went to piracy, if any. If that's wrong, then okay I'll change my mind.

And big citation needed that they had a money collection specifically for some instance of piracy.
