Jay teaches digital workshops so I'm not sure where you get the "sticking it to the digital crowd" bit.

And you don't know the intent behind the suit. Better odds are his IP attorneys did not allow a cease and desist letter. Doing so sets precedent that must be followed in any future infringements suits. It basically says "I'll allow the infringement that has happened so far, just don't do it anymore". So Jay would be setting himself up for anyone else to infringe his work as long as they stop it only after he becomes aware of it and then asks them to stop.

Calling him a dushbag (sic) is a pretty douchebag thing to do unless you are privy to what was discussed between Jay and his counsel.
