I know that in most circumstances WotC doen't seem to care, but it might be worth a shot. I mean we are not talking about him ripping off copyrights on $3-$6 modules, we are talking big time money that he is basically stealing from them. Maybe they will be a little more interested and inclined to act being that is the case.
