Well, lets not split hairs
The station in question was from a sought after DXCC entity (on 160m SSB
anyway) and was working a pileup of stations calling him using my SDR,
located ~ 4000Km closer to his callers (and connected to a reasonable
beverage) than his transmitter
Effectively his callers are being defrauded out of a valid contact, they
may have heard him directly but he did not hear his callers without the
assistance of my receiver
Presumably his callers reasonably expect their QSO's to count for DXCC
So I reiterate my opinion that in the

I think remote stations are a different matter entirely IF the
transmitter AND receiver are located at the same location AND the
call-sign used is a correct, Legal call-sign FOR the location where the
transmitter is located
