Default Ripped off in another country?

I just received an email from someone who walked into a store in South Africa and came across one of my old poster design on a t-shirt for this company.
~ELLIOT GREEN~

They're also on facebook...

And here's the original poster...

Anything I can do? My guess is "Not much".

People are idiots.

Send a strongly worded, legal sounding email.

It worked for me when someone copped my design and started selling it as their own.

But, that was stuff sold over eBay Australia.

That other one looks like an AA poster.

It appears he's trying to play them all off as his own designs? Tell him you'll contact all his stores and distributors he's dealing with unless he stops selling them (they're all listed on his site). I'm sure the last thing he'll want is for his clients to find out he's a hack.
