There is no law which covers reproducing information in the public domain (such as whois records).
You should contact the registrar (GoDaddy), inform them the information is wrong and they're publishing your personal information, and ask for the domain to be taken down as it's incorrectly registered. Better still, as whomever is involved in it has listed you as the admin and tech contacts you could ask GoDaddy to transfer the domain to your control, then point it at a domain parking page. That way you could get money from the parking page and the site would become a non- issue for everyone here and so they'd stop hassling you. Have a nice day, Al.
