What would you do if the author of your fav story removed their story from all illegal sites?

And they threaten to take legal action if they find their work is being pirated somewhere?

I had a fav BL where the author demanded the uploaders to remove the uploads from the piracy site I was reading the BL on, and since I liked the story and didn't want the author of my fav story feeling disrespected and upset over something they clearly expressed they don't like happening, I just accepted that I wouldn't be able to read it on that site anymore. I didn't want to hold any ill-feelings towards the author and them trying to protect their work. And if they purged it from all piracy sites I'd just accept I wouldn't be able to read one of my fav BL until I can finally have the ability to access it legally.

What would you guy's do if the author of your fav works didn't like their works being pirated, and took it down from the piracy sites you use and many more?
