You don't need to register your site for copyright in order for it to be copyrighted... the archive.org has the date that you had the site. That's all the proof you need.. They can't argue with the dates.
Don't worry about their attorney fees.. that was their choice not yours.. You're not obligated to them for anything.
Doesn't matter how much money they make.. if they bought a stolen site from a designer then they need to deal with the designer as do you. Find out who sold it to them and go from there.
In the mean time, demand again that they remove the site as you have given them proof of when you had your site. If they don't do it, then you'll probably need to get a lawyer to haggle with their lawyer.. or try going to their host and inform them of the situation..
