This happened to me.  I found the contact details for the website that
was being advertised (using whois) and told them I'd sue if they didn't
stop.  They stopped immediately.  I suppose they calculated that it was
so easy to switch to persecuting some other poor victim that they
needn't risk a lawsuit from me, however small that risk might actually
have been.
