I am not a lawyer, but I was intrigued by the question so I did My Own Research (tm).
Apparently the answer is that you can sue a web site and serve the Internet service provider and whoever registered the domain name.
I would imagine that if there's an anonymizer for the domain they are accepting responsibility for delivering such subpoenas. (I didn't see that started as fact.)
- crazygringo 2y agoBut while ISP's are being ordered to block the site, the $30 million judgment is directed at Libgen itself. Not an ISP or registrar. So I don't think that can be the full answer here.
- jfengel 2y agoI was just looking at the question of serving the lawsuit. Winning a default judgment kind of assumes that the defendant at least heard about it, which is hard when you don't know who it is. Googling turned up that this happens a lot in hit and run cases. I didn't go down that rabbit hole.
