A little backstory: They stole my site (socketstudios.com) which showed up on my analytics as they for got to remove it. They also left the contolling javascript file on my server. I modified it to load images of dogs that have no idea what they are doing.

Did you try to contact them? (By them, I mean the site owner. I feel like this is a solo operation)

On other notes, there's no stopping you from replacing the content of this area where you tell your own version of their description: (from site via Google Translate) "We have been working since 1999, incorporating technology and knowledge towards the design and communication, both institutional and business."

I don't see why he should (if that is what you are implying), they didn't bother contacting him (apparently).
