Quoting Zak Overmyer
Alright, I hope that you guys can do something about it. Thanks!
I got an email back from Sean and this is what he had to say:
"Personally, I'm flattered when someone likes my creation so much they duplicate it. I put a thank you in the comment with a link back to my MOC. Problem solved. :)"
He also said some things to the effect of leaving MOCpages because of this issue was not the best choice, and on that I agree with him. We're very sorry to see the builders go but to pack up and leave because of this...
On the matter as a whole, if someone thinks your (or anyone's) creations are so good that they have to copy them and can't come up with their own, really that's their problem, not yours. You all know what the guy did and didn't like it. Personally, I would have banned him from whatever groups you were all a part of and asked him to not have contact with you anymore.
Sorry we couldn't do more, I understand where your frustration is coming from.
Good luck,
~Chris.
