:mad Gallery leeching = copyright violation?

You maybe know how it is:
You have several sponsors that gives you permission to use content from the membersite, so you have the opportunity to make more money for yourself and the sponsor. Then you find a website, and like 50% of his galleries are systematic leeched from you - quite obvious because no chance he would have picked the same photos.
"Oh shit - better email the guy and tell him to stop and explain him that I put alot of time and work into this, and that photos are actually not part of the affiliate areas or FHGs, but "licensed" for exclusive promotion. Polite email that is.

So.... I got this reply:

Hi,
maybe you don't understand something...
ALL IMAGES ARE COPYRIGHTED TO (OUR) SPONSORS.
YOU ARE !!NOT!! THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER!

If any sponsor don't want my work, HE and NOT YOU
should mail me and I stop supporting him emediately.
That's so easy!!

Please stop sending me such bullshit.
Thanks.

BTW you can find the same galleries you
have on your site on lot's of other tgp's and
you mean I'm leeching YOU??!!
(ie. ********.com ect.)

I also doing a hard job (like you?) and normaly
I don't have time for answering shitmails like
you sending me.

DONT'T DISTURB ME AND MY WORK!

Thanks,
******
So what can you do in situations like this, except whining like I do now?
Obviously it is pointless to argue with someone like that, and normally I won't bother, but this one pisses me off
