Your best bet would be to contact the web host, and explain your concerns. If they're a major ISP, they'll probably try to get compliance from their subscriber. If your material was copyrighted, they you also have a civil cause and could contact a lawyer about obtaining a restraining order against the person publishing the materials or the ISP who's hosting the content. Unfortunately, in either case, the individual in NZ could simply change ISP's and republish it. And a US court has no jurisdiction in NZ. You might alternatively or also need to seek legal redress in NZ as well. Unfortunately, there are no Internet cops. Good luck.
