Thing is if he had signed his name on them and sold as genuine fakes I don't think there is a problem (copyright?) it's when you put the artists name and pass them of as genuine (forgery) that there is something to answer for. Good fakes can sometimes be worth good money.

I remember some TV programme a long while back that looked at professional fakers. Some would even fake one picture in the style of another artist (Mona Lisa painted by Picasso anyone?)
