There are a few things I'd like to point out here before everyone gets carried away:
1) Where did he "steal" them from? (No, The Light is NOT stolen from me. I made starbursts, he made a starburst. The patterns are quite different.)
2) Would they really care if he took them? I mean, it's not like he's making real money off of them. Google Images is a lot more convenient than taking a picture of some eucalyptus trees yourself.
3) As long as they are not identical and they are not insubstantial changes (changing the color of a shirt? You can do that. Changing the position of the left eye by one pixel? You have to delete the old one.) then they aren't really spam. I agree in that I don't see the point in the "THIS SKIN COST ME XXX BITS" skins, but there's nothing in the rules against them.
