I'm simply commenting on it. I wasn't even aware this was going on. The reason I mentioned that I sent the post to two friends is simply to show them what happened, not for them to chime in on what you should do.

He is sipping his bubbly and sitting in his hot tub. He probably does this all the time and gets away with it. Hopefully you get a little satisfaction knowing that your art is worth ripping off, and maybe one day when you can afford the legal fees, you will come out on top.
