How many rip-offs are too many?

They say this imitation is the best form of flattery, I used to think that, but now that we passed the 160th occurrence it's becoming a real big problem. Today someone informed me of a site that ripped off our design. I knew about the site before, in fact, I knew about it in 2005 when I sent them a nice email asking them to change their design that they clearly took from our site... and the 3 cease and desist letters that followed it. Yet, as of today they have not changed a single thing about their site. I would typically post this on Pirated Sites, but they are just a forum that you have been approved by an administrator to post to. There used to be some flickr groups but I can't locate them anymore, there is only an account to post to. I would link the site but they don't deserve the traffic we'd send them. What to do? Well, I guess I can post it on Flickr.
