WHY IS KYLE DEAN REINFORD FREAKING THE FUCK OUT?

Photographer/actor/singer Kyle Dean Reinford is really mad that Hipster Runoff published his photos without his permission.  (Read more here.)  According to an update on The Village Voice, what really 'ticks him off' is not just that Carles used his photos, it's that:
  1. One of the photos was altered:  "What I'm objecting is mainly the defacing of one of my photos. I don't appreciate it."
  2. The blogger, Carles, uses non-grammatically correct English: "It's crazy to think that some asshole can anonymously steal copyrighted work, completely disregard the English language and its structure, . . ."
  3. Carles' makes money with his blogging:  ". . . and somehow make money off of the ads from his site."
