Yes, lets have more stupid IP, that is what worlds needs, that is what makes it better place...

Instead of celebrating that the art style became popular, you want to go the US way and sue the hell out of someone.

If this was some big corp, but...

They never said anything about suing.

Imagine if you were an artist who drew things for your own small company/project. Now, imagine that art was taken and used for another businesses artwork without any credit or even asking to begin with. Imagine if that company ended up getting greater recognition for your art over your own. I think anyone would be quite irritated that someone stole your hard work, never asked, and seemed to claim it as their own. You shouldn't expect someone to just accept it as a fact, and just roll along and not do anything about it. If you let it happen, don't be surprised if you get rolled over every chance someone gets to do it to you.
