determine who hosts the offending webmaster. is the host in the USA? if it is you're on the fast track.
looks like in this case it's yipes.com
"In the event Yipes is notified of a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), Yipes will forward such complaint onto Customer. Customer will be expected to abide by the takedown and notice procedures set forth in the DMCA. Customer expressly indemnifies Yipes from any damages from Customer's failure to abide by the DMCA. Yipes may, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who may be repeat copyright infringers.
find out who the agent for copyright is at Yipes and yipes upstream (level 3 maybe)
serve them with the C&D and watch things happen really fast.
because IF stileproject is infringing your copyright the deep pockets here is Yipes --- and his website will go dark VERY FAST if he doesn't remove your stuff because part of the DMCA law is that Yipes becomes a contributory infringer.
