    Having fake Whois details on a domain is in breech of ICANN legislation, if you were to report it to the domain registrar they will terminate the domain.

    Or you could ping the server, get the hosting company details and file a DMCA. Here's a DMCA Template in .Doc format, you want the ISP/Web Host one. There's also one there for Google if the site is running Adsense on your content.

    (A) To be effective under this subsection, a notification of claimed infringement must be a written communication provided to the designated agent of a service provider that includes substantially the following:

    (i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

    (ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.

    (iii) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material.
