i paid a fair price to cover the time spent working on the project. i assume that when i pay for something like that, that it is mine afterwards. say you drop top dollar to get your new car painted some wierd fucking color. wouldn't you be chapped if the shop painted 40 other cars the exact same color and sold them all off at half what you paid the next week?
i've designed several blogs for people, i don't just rework blog designs i've already done and hock them off for easy money, or post up the same blog designs a week later offering them for 40 bucks or something...

define fair price, if someone wants a script from me exclusively i get an equity stake in the business for my coding. Otherwise it is just a licience.
As for what to do it depends on what rights you aquired for the script, if he assigned all rights send him a DCMA complient statement.
IF he gave you resell rights under cut him and take his business away from him.
if you only got operational rights your screwed take your lumps like a man
