If the offending content is on a website, one avenue you can pursue is to 
send a "DMCA Takedown" notice to the company that hosts the website.  The 
hosting company is required by law to remove the offending material when 
they receive a takedown notice.  To get the website back up, the website 
owner has to provide a "counter-notification" where they assert that they 
possess rights to the content in question. 

This is a bit extreme and could turn into a nasty legal battle--you'll have 
to judge for yourself if you want to do it.  It could be satisfying, 
however.... 

Here's a writeup from a Washington state website where they describe how 
they handle DMCA Takedown notices:
