Yeah. But, then why not produce a cease and desist when they *start*, 
not years later, when they offer people to donate some money to them for 
their troubles? As far as I am concerned, you lose any leg you had to 
stand on if you opt to "not" act on the blindingly obvious fact that 
someone is breaking your supposed copyright, and doing it right under 
your own nose, on your own forums, and letting it happen, right up until 
some manager goes, "Oh, well... Now that is too far, nail him!", and 
then probably not for a reason they can legitimately argue was actually 
worse than what they already ignored.
