Couldn't you just take them to court?
- geofft 11y ago"... or relying on the perception that armed law enforcement could do so." I can take you to court, and you can say, "sure, whatever, you and what army." You'll only care if you think there's an actual army (or police force) who'll make you do what the courts tell you to do. Otherwise any judgment against you doesn't bother you. Note that this is exactly why Chinese knockoffs/counterfeits of US tech products are such a big market: US courts have no jurisdiction in China, and the US Marshals can't keep up with all of the imports.
