Yes it does matter as doing so is unethical as well as illegal in most countries as it violates copyright acts that most countries have in place.

I know I am always on the lookout for it and don't hesitate to send out a DMCA abuse notification to users who are abusing the content copyright for code of mine. Which most countries are more then willing to help enforce (Sweden not included as their laws are still a subject I am researching since I know with careful distribution in Sweden the law will help protect you (example: piratebay (I wont list the url here since its a torrent site but im sure most of you have probably heard about it))).
