From my own non-business educated perspective, it appears that they are ripping off his brand name. Even though he is selling ProductX for the same amount of money, other people are selling his exact product, only calling it ProductY, therefore deminishing his brand recognition. So, for the time being, he might still make the sale, but in the long run, his business is hurt because his brand is less recognizable due to ProductY ripping him off.
As far as being related to Perl, he posed a problem with a script(s) and ask for a technical solution for it.. I thought that was what Monks were all about.. helping with a technical problem with a Perl script?
I could be wrong.. it's happened once before.

So, if I have a recurring problem in a real storefront
with say shoplifters...
I should leave the shop as-is and just handle the problem
via legal venues after the fact ?
Would there be some value in making it harder to shoplift
from my store in the first place ?
I'm not looking for legal advice. We pursue legal
action when it's possible.
