Bliss Box violating my copyright, GPL and more

I just spotted this:

http://spawnlinux.dyndns.org/Bliss-Box/technical.html

It violates my copyright on some of the images such as the schematic and connector diagrams. It also violates the GPL by using V-USB and not publishing the relevant code. Chances are it probably uses some of my GPL’ed code, and the author admitted that it is based off some of Ralph’s code too (also GPL).

I emailed the guy but he is refusing to give any attribution, publish anything or provide any links back to the relevant sites.

Since he used his own server in dyndns I tracked him back to somewhere in Florida, using Warner Cable via Road Runner. I have sent complains to both of them.
