I was *stunned* at how many ISPs told them to fuck off (including, I am happy to say, the one I work at)..
When a court order is present - that is a whole new ball game: nobody will refuse that.
Well maybe. What if a US ISP is incorporated with all foreign residents and no local employees (only trusted local contractors). No one to serve legal notice upon. ISP is housed in a standalone building which is owned outright (no landlord to serve). Site is monitored 24/7 via Internet and satellite links with remote controlled self-destruct devices (which to be effective must be capable of destroying the entire building). steve A foolish Constitutional inconsistency is the hobgoblin of freedom, adored by judges and demagogue statesmen. - Steve Schear
