Blogger Plagerized

Blogger etiqutte is such that we as bloggers give credit when using another blogger's posts or columnists articles. It keeps the traffic and recognition flowing to those that deserve it and keeps this well oiled machine moving and unites us as bretheren.
Just recently a new blog has stolen over 15 video clips and articles from Crooksandliars in an attempt to drive traffic to their site. They were asked politely to modify their posts so when they use the articles or video clips, they are routed through C&L's website. Their site has cost a lot of bandwidth that they aren't paying for. They refused and said the only way they will stop is if C&L will work with them. At this point there's no way to stop them from doing it. They reside in Canada I believe. Digby has told C&L that they should publicize it and shame them into stopping. I don't think that will work since obviously they have no shame.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
