It's convenient to think of corporations as being large soulless entities out to screw the little guy, but the reality is that decisions like this one (pulling together artwork for a cd cover) are handled by regular, normal human beings just like you & me, and thinking of them as soulless entities and giving up only furthers the lack of accountability. Like Al said, a letter probably isn't going to get him any money, but it does document that he defends his designs, and if nothing else, word will hopefully get back to that designer or the team that hired him for the project, and he'll hopefully think twice the next time he appropriates someone else's designs. Isn't that the ultimate goal anyhow?

Re: Dharma & Greg, one of the head writers for that show is a big tikiphile, I've had the pleasure of meeting him and he's a very nice fellow. Wouldn't surprise me to hear he would have snuck some quality tiki touches into the show. He's now a writer on Two & a Half Men (the Charlie Sheen/Jon Cryer sitcom), haven't seen that show, but perhaps we'll hear tiki reports from there as well?
