That's essentially the purpose of DNS bans. They are enforced by a given jurisdiction, but they let you solve the root problem rather than running around host providers in foreign jurisdictions.
- bwoodcock 5y agoNo, that doesn't work. If anybody could say what should happen globally, and nobody would argue about it, then we wouldn't need courts and borders. The whole point of courts and borders and jurisdictions is to resolve disputes. We wouldn't have copyright law if there weren't copyright disputes. So you can't just say "if any court anywhere decides something, it should apply globally." Because the next court over, in the next jurisdiction, can rule the opposite way. What then?
- pyrale 5y agoYou seem to believe that my comment implies that laws should apply worldwide, while it simply states that DNS bans are by construction localized.
