I think that it is definitely in order to take this fellow's site off
the main list. He should be e-mailed as well, to ask him why he has
claimed to have drawn those pictures. 

I like your idea of having an ASCII 'hall of shame' for such sites.

I am an associate member of the animated gif artists' guild
(http://www.agag.com/) that has the same mandate as we ASCII-artists
do... credit where credit is due.

It has a link to rogue sites.
