Wasn't it criminal because he was doing it as a business and earning money from it?

That's still a civil case in New Zealand. It's copyright infringement, you don't go to jail - you get sued and bankrupted. The fact he was making money from it doesn't change the court, he just gets sued for more (in this case, it would have been everything he owned).
