Counselling should be considered.
I find it weird that FS would consider this worthy to help photography.
This man has a lot of axes to grind.... If someone is stealing or copying your work, retain a copyright lawyer. Yes, it can get expensive and it will take time away from your shooting, but if you want to protect your work it may be the best recourse. You will probably achieve better results than whining about it on YouTube.
No real useful information in this video.

My comments regarding the axes to grind, stealing and copying of work was directed to the comments made by the photographer in the video here (embedded from YouTube), Justin Mott and not you. My apologies for the misunderstanding.
