Someone Has Been Stealing My Music For A Few Years Apparently, And I Just Found Out Last Night, And I'm Lost On What To Do.

Location: Pittsburgh, PA

Like the title says, last night while searching on instagram, I found one of my songs uploaded to the platform, completely unaltered, under a different artist name and everything. I did some searching and found he has stolen multiple songs of mine, uploaded under different names, some of them multiple times under the same name. I've made some copyright strikes, but its difficult to find and keep track of every place its been uploaded and the different artist names he has uploaded the same songs under. I figure a cease and desist would maybe be a step to take, but I'm not sure, and even if I'm right, I have no clue how to go about it. Also, for what its worth, this guy is clearly on numerous drugs and posts about it constantly, so I have no idea what anything would even do. I'm incredibly lost on what to do with all this, and any advice would be greatly appreciated as my music is super important to me and it really hurts to see it stolen like this. Thanks in advance!
