Its OK to blaim PirateSoftware for killing the movement with his blatant and explicit lies.

tl;dr he sandbagged the movement when it was beginning to build momentum with a bunch of, what would charitably be called, misunderstandings of the whole point.

It's covered pretty thoroughly here: https://youtu.be/HIfRLujXtUo?t=1117

Given he contradicts himself multiple times in an effort to make the movement look incompetent, I would say it was more than just a misunderstanding.
