Wow, I haven't seen you in ages, holthelper!
Anyway, I'm pretty sure if the author would ask a mod privately to remove, they would due to respect for the original work (if it's theirs, obviously). And.. to be honest, it doesn't really matter. Until a mod will take it down, there are say, a few minutes to hours. That means atleast 5 people downloading it? They will just reupload it to somewhere or spread it again. If it's leaked - it's done.
