It seems to me like the court overstepped here and issued a ruling that contained a lot of wishful thinking that doesn't reflect the ability of miscreants on the Internet to just rapidly register a new domain name with a new fake credit card. Certainly it is trivial to host the actual websites well out of legal reach of US courts, and with domain registrars without US presence. This leaves those of us in the network operations community in the position of shouldering costs to comply with a court order, but without a clear mechanism to continue to be in compliance. This could become a full time job, if the defendants want to play the game right. "israel.tv"? "1srael.tv" (with a "1" or "L" for the first letter, etc).
Is anybody here considering recovering compliance costs from the plaintiffs?
Check with your lawyer to be sure and then ignore the ruling. A judge in a civil case definitely does not have the authority to bind folks who are not parties to the suit. It's a fairly basic due process issue. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin bill@herrin.us https://bill.herrin.us/
