We simply turn the information over to the attorneys and leave it up to them to handle.
Sometimes they send out a cease & desist notice, other times they simply go after them for damages. We leave it to their discretion. A C&D notice doesn't negate the fact that they've been illegally profiting from the use of our images and impacting our potential livelihood.
Put it in terms of shoplifting from a store. You get caught, you're busted and charged. Cops don't hand you a cease & desist order. Theft of copyrighted images is no different - its still a protected commodity/product.
