Copyright infringement case.... That is what it looks like to me.
 
Even if you do not have it specifically marked as "copyright" it still is.
 
Send Mr. Farrell a direct and pointed letter from a lawyer that will be interested in taking this case, to "stop" the infringement immediately.
 
If not, have at him.
