While i agree there's ethical problem, IMO it's problem between ChipMixer and the user who wear copycat signature, all we need to do is let ChipMixer representative know about this problem.

Wasabi is not a profitable service

While i doubt it's profitable, there's 0.003% coordinator fee.
According to Chainalysis, Wasabi mixed $250,000,000 in 2019*. That means $750,000 has been paid in coordinator fees, which seems pretty profitably to me Grin.

While I am quite surprised (I have underestimated Wasabi), I am not able to follow your math. 0.003% is per anonymity set ($7500 assuming all went through a set of 1). On average, the set I would say is in the 50-75 on average.

Regarding the OP, I don't really see the issue as long as it is an individual using the signature (in a non-campaign way). It would've been honorable if the user PMed the signature designer first, but you can't prevent people from using the BB code. Campaigns could add a disclaimer in the OP but there would still be no way to enforce it.
