Site rip-offs

Normally I am both humbled and disgusted by attempts to steal/copy the work I have done. However, two recent thefts aggravate me greatly, mainly due to the fact that they have advertisements to make money off the hard work of mine and that of my co-designer/coder WetWired.

My site:
http://www.zelaron.com/forum

Their sites:
http://www.vbhackers.com/forum
http://board.xgnews.org/index.php?styleid=10

Now, the question is, can anything be done about vBulletin style thefts, or website ripoffs in general? I do not believe the owners of the two former sites mentioned above have gotten their hands directly on my vB style file, but rather do they seem to have stolen the image work and attempted to recode the rest from scratch with varying success.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
