Is copyright infringement a sincere form of flattery?

...or is it just plain stealing? I'm thinking the latter! I am so pissed off right now! I just got an email from one of my customers. She sent me a link to an Ebay auction where someone has been selling pins using my biker chick logo design without my consent! Sure, a piece of me is flattered that they liked my design enough to rip it off but for the most part I am PISSED!! 

A sincere thank you to "Tammi" who reported this to me. I never would have known it otherwise. I'm in the process of reporting this person to Ebay authorities now but that won't stop them from selling these outside of Ebay.  If you are interested you can see a screen print of the crook's auction by clicking this link. (Warning - large image)  Oh well, I better go to bed.
