I'm probably blowing my stack over nothing, but this just irks me to no end. Sunichi is getting ripped off by a Chinese dude:

If you notice, all the sci-fi kits are Sunichi's in photoetch form. With no credit given to the designer.
There's a thread on Starship Modeler, and they seem to think there's nothing wrong with it. I love those guys, but I can't stand this. It's like someone creating a beautiful blueprint of the Battlestar Galactica and putting it up for free, then another person coming along, downloading it, then putting the print on T-shirts without consulting the dude or without giving him royalties (this actually happened, btw).
I don't know the word that describes how I feel about it (hurt? angry? frustrated?), but rest assured my emotions are reaching the boiling point.
Am I just blowing smoke, or is this another in a long line of injustices?
