    They're American
    Hosting ISP : Interserver
    Server Ip : 64.20.54.75
    Server Location : Secaucus, New Jersey, 07094, United States

    they also appear to own Rapidshareupload.Com which is a rather dodgy site full of warez.

    theres more info but I'm reluctant to post on a site where the knowledge might be misused.
    the whois is totally fake, not a new trick used.

    Seems that the site in the OP's post is back up and running again, still hosting the stolen content since Martin posted this on his blog:

    > Shutting down copycat forums – the system works.

    Obviously it has been restored, switched hosts, or something like that....

    Seems the "system" does work, but not for long. :(
