Rather than duke it out over the copyright thing, I think I'm simply going to offer my designs carved on fake pumpkins, exactly the same thing as him, but undercut his prices. Also, all other people in the existing online carving community (as small of a niche as it is) are on my side of this. I think the online designers are going to band together in some way to put a stop to this kind of outright theft, or at least force the jackass out of business in another way.
Of course then he might still blow the whistle on us. Then there is the chance that the big boys simply won't care, and he'll just be a little dog barking, with no bite. After all, HE isn't the one that can sue, he has to convince them to go after me, it may not even be worth their time.
I'll come out of this one way or another, but this dude's attitude via e-mails that we are trading just makes my blood boil. He honestly sees nothing wrong with what he's doing.
