It's not piracy if it's not being marketed or sold, in my book.  If an exchange of money for goods or services is no longer possible with a vendor, then it is abandoned and it is not a form of theft that robs the vendor of what otherwise would have been money in their pocket.  It doesn't fit a proper legal definition, I know.  But at some point it is no longer unethical to consider it a viable option.

Should Tony come back from the great beyond and say otherwise, well then we can assume that he is back in business and then the legal matter is a different issue: if he is able to produce promised goods and services after money is exchanged.

Either way I hope the issue is resolved someday in the near future.  It's a real sore spot in our community. :-(
