Report them to their web host and the ad networks they use. Don't troll them with different content just go for the kill - some accounts like AdSense carry lifetime bans.

I have reported it to the abuse contact of the web host, colocation provider, and cloudflare. I am however not expecting a response in a timely manner from any of them.

Luckily they are stripping out the ad tags before displaying by site so it shouldn't affect Ad Sense.

Do you know who their web host is? If so, block the whole Class B from fetching your site.

You're right. Thanks for keeping me honest.

Don't just block the /24 ("Class C" IP block), block the /16 ("Class B" IP block) the IP resides in. You'll reduce your audience in India, but they'll have to switch webhosts to continue leaching his/her site.
