As long as Mister Coaster does not profit from his work, he might be in some sort of copyright issue, but the biggies won't do much. On the other hand, Mr. Jackass is in it for profit, so the carver's community can sue.
One of the future things they can do is really simple-use the copyright symbol on every original image they put on their sites. The downloads can be created without them or with them in an inconspicuous part.
Then put the disclaimer "All creations are original copyrighted material. Any unauthorized use of this material is forbidden." And I'd do it before his site goes back up.
