Whose law?
We already appear to have situations in which the bad guys go jurisdiction-shopping -- either by design or fortune
1. Get a domestic judgment that shows that in the eyes of a court of competent jurisdiction in your own home that a violation of your laws has occurred. 2. Take that judgment and use the laws of the foreign jurisdiction to domesticate the judgment and make it enforceable there. Step #2 may be hard and frustrating. But it is better than engaging in private feuding using ad hoc (and thus contrary to the notion of predictable justice) procedures.
We now have precedent, for better or worse, for blocking domains at a national level
That is - blocking until people decide to establish and use competing, consistent DNS roots. There is no technical or legal obstacle in the way of that happening - the only obstacle is an already eroding reluctance. --karl--
