Copyright and Plagiarism

I'm wrinting this post because i'm very upset and with people that think they are designers in a way but what they only do is to copy other people designs.

Here's the story:
I designed and developed a website back in 2006 called _lab06 .
It is a website of a design studio lead by me (adrian) and my partner Eduardo, offering mainly web design and 3D Renderings.
with the past of time (four years since then) and tools like Google Analytics i realized, based on the traffic sources to my website, that there is a "graphic design" studio in India that literally stole my web design.

FusionAD is showing on there Portofio page their latest web design called XPOLAB, surprisignly, an exact (bad) copy of my original design _lab06.
I'm saying a bad copy because of the following items.

they copy my design but they didn't even know how to write ActionScript, so their website movements are made by tweens not by scripts (if you are a web designer you'll know what i'm talking about)
In their website, the html source it's still showing my name and my partner's!

Here you have the links so you can check what i'm saying:

_lab06 (original)
lab06.net

XPOLAB (copy)
xpolab.in

FusionAD ("graphic design studio")
fusionad.net



Just in case they take all that away, here you can see some screenshots of what i'm talking about.

What do you think??
