ideas:

1. Create content that can't be scraped. I'm not sure exactly what your "content" is in this case, but images can be watermarked, text can be given lots of references to your own brand and service, ect.

2. Submit legal requests to google to remove the content. Enough violations can get their domain blacklisted. I've done this successfully in the past for competitors using my trademark without permission to get it removed from Google. Ads. https://support.google.com/legal/answer/3110420

3. Talk to the hosting provider, if applicable. If someone is repeatedly breaking copyright law using their platform, they may have some incentive to stop providing hosting.

You can also apply steganography to your data, i.e., embed a copyright message that can't be detected or easily removed.
