You should be happy they put it up, as honestly you've lost nothing only gained.
Usually you have to pay to get your video on the site, I've paid $x,xxx before. In regards to lost views, the counter updates every refresh pretty much plus worldstarhiphop are known for faking video views.
Even if they embedded your video you still wouldnt off gained views as they ONLY embed videos iframed in their own video player.
The only way to get your video views is to pay them to feature your video on the main page and sate they must place the original YouTube ended code.
Also for future videos I wouldn't watermark if I were you. Since they are trolling videos thy need to look natural and plastering your website URL as a watermark takes away our legitimacy if you've got a website full of other troll videos on varis topics.

Your current options as I see them:
Use social media to your advantage. Accuse them flat out of stealing and you will file a DMCA claim. You start on their own twitter channel if they have one.
Actually do file that claim but keep on spamming social media about the progress, replies and other video's they might have stolen. Also how it makes you feel, this is not to be underestimated.
If you really want to, give out freebies to anybody pointing out another stolen or duplicated video and create a website.
Perhaps you could place something on scam sites too so it pops up whenever the company is googled.
They will ignore you at first, then try and intimidate you, then comply.
Someone spending 1 hour a day for a month on neg repping a company, with evidence even, can't be good for that company.
Also, play the Calimero-card whenever you can. ( they are so big and strong, what is poor little old me gonna do? It is so unfair they always pick on the little guy... )
People like an underdog.
My guess is you can get your vlog deleted/embedded within a week if your social influence is big enough.
But, it sucks to do all that and a watermark might be a solution to prevent any future problems.
I think its up to you, either you go after them full force or just don't waste any time. It is a choice only you can make.
On a side note I think you are hilarious, I forwarded your link to a friend.
Anyways, I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck with this.

Being racist at WSHH isn't going to help him. It might even get him some unneeded attention from outside parties. Keep making videos man, fuck them German assholes. Also, keep us updated if you get a response from WSHH.

Honestly like I said there's nothing really you can do about it. I just remembered when 50 Cent had some sort of copyright issue (I think) with them. Even Fiddy himself, with all the money and lawyers he had could only take them offline for around 24-48 hours. As me and my associates like to say 'fuhgedaboudit'

JaredMilton, check out: http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/dmca.php
Unrelated but I love how hip hop is about "Stop Snitching" yet on WSHH site it states they work with law enforcement:
Umm if you owned a site making more then 10k a day i think you would protect your investment too.

What a waste. They're' nuts. I've contacted them before about a year or two ago. they tried to get 3000. For what? that counter is fake. No one really clicks on the unknown vids. I know one thing for sure, they're banking well over there cause there are plenty of desperate artists out there thinking they'll blow up after being featured on the site.

.... they have a top 500 website in the world, maybe top 200 and your saying its not worth it to be on their site? hahahah even if the clicks are fake thats exposure.
I personally dont like WSHH but the things you guys try to bring to the plate against them is just nonsense.
