I agree. It's understandable that he's annoyed, and by all means he should pursue the matter and get due recompense, but still, his reaction seems a wee bit over the top. If he were to be polite and businesslike, and arrange a mutually agreeable deal, who knows, maybe he could find himself as the go-to guy for game companies that need a transit map....
I wouldn't be surprised if N.D.'s official policies are much stricter, and would normally call for any art to be freely-available/purchased/redrawn/etc, but in this case the artist found a map, had a tight deadline, and thought to himself "oh, all these maps look the same, who's gonna notice"...
[The answer obviously is: "Transit map nerds are gonna notice, that's who...especially the one who drew the map..." :]
I've read the Transit Maps blog for ages, and it's a great blog; over the top or not, the reaction's kinda in character... oO;
