I suggest you read up on "parody" and "fair use". Removing the copyright
notice: is he supposed to leave YOUR copyright on his parody of your
work? The Supreme Court has given parody artists wide latitude. See
Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, 510 US 569 (1994).

Or what? You'll bust the Copyright Ninjas out of the sewer to avenge you?

Agreed. I find defacement of the kind seen on the billboards around town
annoying... even when I agree with it. It's low quality culture jamming.
I wish the person/persons doing it would upgrade.
And, personally, I found his parody of your work... lame. Sorry. Not cool,
not a snicker to be had.
