The comments that one of the US2's developers made in a pirate/hack forum are great:
It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Imitation and copying are in a sense the same thing, so thanks for flattering us.
It would however have been nice if you had respected our right to select the distribution method ourselves, and for that reason, I respectfully ask you to remove this pirated version.
Recognizing that you are unlikely to do that, I will simply hope that any user of this software, _including_ those who get it through alternative means, will enjoy it. That they will feel entertained and enlightened at the same time. Then we will still have obtained the primary goal.
Being a small team, depending on some form of income, I hope that anyone enjoying the software then later joins us as a paying customer to support further development. As to what we still want to add of features... not even the sky is the limit ;-)

Down to Earth, matter-of-fact. I like that.
