DMCA is a process. Someone files a takedown request, someone else files a counter notice. etc etc.
If you are a designer and your work is ripped off, and the site isn't responding to email, you will get a lot of support if you put together a simple sheet showing the similarities between your work and theirs. It might help if you show how their work is more similar to yours than it is to some other products too.
If someone is accusing you of ripping of their work it helps if you put together the same kind of sheet, showing what they claim is ripped off, your "version", and something from the WWW predating both projects but very similar. Point out all the differences and explain the design "language" (sorry, designers, for mangling the lingo) that you were going for.
If you're being targeted it might be useful to do a web-search to see if they've got a history of targeting many people.
