DCMA is what you send to them.

Digital Millennium Copyright Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Like Tiffany said, DMCA.

You can contact them directly, their web host provider, and even if you want to jump through a few extra hoops, Google.

But you should seek remedy with the offender first.

Find out who their host is at who-hosts.com and send the host a DMCA

Sample DMCA

To: HOSTING COMPANY
cc: Google, Inc.

A site that you host is using articles that are copyrighted by me. These articles are being used without permission or attribution. The original articles, to which we own the exclusive copyrights, and the infringing copies can be found at:

URLS OF YOUR MATERIAL AND URLS OF INFRINGING MATERIAL

This letter is official notification under Section 512(c) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (”DMCA”), and I seek the removal of the aforementioned infringing material from your servers. I request that you immediately notify the infringer of this notice and inform them of their duty to remove the infringing material immediately, and notify them to cease any further posting of infringing material to your server in the future.

Please also be advised that law requires you, as a service provider, to remove or disable access to the infringing materials upon receiving this notice. Under US law a service provider, such as yourself, enjoys immunity from a copyright lawsuit provided that you act with deliberate speed to investigate and rectify ongoing copyright infringement. If service providers do not investigate and remove or disable the infringing material this immunity is lost. Therefore, in order for you to remain immune from a copyright infringement action you will need to investigate and ultimately remove or otherwise disable the infringing material from your servers with all due speed should the direct infringer, your client, not comply immediately.

I am providing this notice in good faith and with the reasonable belief that rights my company owns are being infringed. Under penalty of perjury I certify that the information contained in the notification is both true and accurate, and I have the authority to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright(s) involved.

Should you wish to discuss this with me please contact me directly.

Thank you.
