Every sale of an original item you prevent is in effect a theft from the company who designed and manufactured the original. You buy one item and have bought the right to use that one item - NOT to duplicate it and distribute it amongst your friends for gain or otherwise.
It's not about the financial gain he's making, more the financial loss to a business he's causing. If he has the skill to make a copy, it's only one step away from making an original of his own design and then he could sell them or give them away as he pleases.
Why doesn't he write to the company and ask permission to copy their products and see what they say....
