> Surely it's against copyright law

It almost certainly is, but

1. You have to know it's happening before you can do anything about it

2. If your "work" isn't registered with the copyright office, you're limited to actual damages, which are probably close to $0

A law is only dealing with the consequences, it's not prevention.
