I really dont find anything that wrong with what he is doing... Making a compilation of that size is some work, and the price looks OK for that work.
However he is not that smart if he tries to pass it of as his own creations. He comes across as mildly intelligent... had he just precented it as "I compiled, sorted and selected these maps and mods from the Internet, It was a lot of work: so will you pay me a few bux for it?" I would have said: Great, not everyone has broadband connections and live on the net. Good work. Is my map on there? Cool.

But he is not that smart, so this is what he gets: People getting rightfully pissed off...

( Dont know copyright laws... but he's American, right? Americans sue each other for everything... or am I wrong?

Edit: repalaced sew with this sue girl ( No, I don't know her personally

$20 for 450 maps is a good deal I must admit, but claiming others work as your own is wrong, and then claiming the old disability sympathy vote is pretty lame, thats the only issue I have with the guy.
