Outlaw Press is back and still stealing art

Like a bad case of herpes that flares up to piss you off, James Shipman has poked his head back up and is trying to sell his books full of stolen art.

The new details are here: http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=519805

This is so irritating that this guy continues to do this.

Why haven't they been sued?

Shippy has been doing this shit for years, and no one has ever truly challenged him. He even published his own edition of Tunnels & Trolls and Flying Buffalo really didn't do a damn thing about it. He tried to sell printed copies of Mazes & Minotaurs, and finally stopped when Oliver got involved. The art thievery is despicable. The bottom line is that no one has the funds to take this shit-bag to court. He is exploiting our hobby and our gaming community. Why anyone buys his products is beyond me...

I could imagine people buy print copies of Mazes & Minotaurs because the creators refuse to make them available. And I'm guessing most wouldn't know about the art theft issue.
