This is such a sticky situation. Plagiarism of any sort, be it articstic or academic, where emotions are always involved and thus the battle is that much more intense. People are dealing with theft ideas and their own creations, something profoundly more difficult to deal with than material objects. I hope things are sorted out in a civil matter and that both sides can come to an agreement about the outcome of the situation without too much legal or professional reprecussions.
