Ryan, The real web site does not reference libtiff.org any more - that's the main clue. Beyond that how much point is there in talking about the hijacked site to people who have made it to the real site? Whether or not there might be legal recourse, it isn't worth it to us (or at least me) to pursue, and our claim might be weak. Just one of those things that sucks.
