That doesn't make it ok.

This argument doesn't make any sense. They cannot buy it.

The smart thing to do would be to treat that as free advertising, and to milk the outrage to get good PR in markets that can buy it.

Also, try going freemium, with ads.

I.e. you can't really control what other people do, but you can accept reality and look for a way to turn it to your advantage.

"OK" in what sense? It makes it "OK" in not feeling bad for the developer or that they have "lost" anywhere close to 50,000 x $5.
Nor does being "not OK" make it actually harmful.
