If they are not blocking the access to the WHO.is servers you can get the IP address of the site and add it to your local hosts file.
Doesn't the IP address change anyway?
Some do and some don't. Even if the IP changes, the actual IP address will be shown on the WHOIS site. Alternatively, I am sure that the actual IP address of these sites is shared by non-American users on forums and other sites.
Just use a VPN service at that point. VPNs also have the upside of your ISP not being able to see you visiting piracy websites.
