out of slightly-humorous curiosity:
did you get more hits to your site from the warez site, or from this thread about being warezed?
Oh boy, oh boy, I've been warezed

Difficult to say, Blogger stats are somewhat limited, it only shows top referring sites for a period and in monthly scale, they are both out outnumbered off the stats. Hits numbers seems to be similar, however the instrument in question page is getting 10x more impressions with no registered referring site, which is unusual, as it's quite old news and wasn't popping out in stats at all before. So, I guess warez site wins, indirectly.

Sad news. When my product gets warezed, it kills all my sales. So the only product I sell on a regular basis are the ones not pirated yet. Sad, but true.

This madness has to stop. Creative work is still valuable - people would not steal it and trade it freely if it had no value for them. I just don't know what to do about it.
Of course in the late 90's I stole my share of mp3's. Then I woke up and stopped. Because I saw this future. And I despaired. And I shouted that the sky was falling. And because the sky falls all the time I was ignored. And now creative work - valued as it is by those who benefit - is not something a creator can share and sustain his or her self with. This is a madness that has no good end.
