Hello, Given the recent press about Spamhaus.org, ICANN, and Tucows, I was wondering about jurisdictional issues.
As Tucows might not want to specifically comment on the Spamhaus issue, suppose hypothetically a court in a non-Toronto jurisdiction (e.g. let's say Nigeria or China) ordered Tucows to do something. Would the domain registrant, who is a client of Tucows or its resellers, be able to oppose that by getting a court in Toronto, Ontario, Canada involved, and permit sufficient time for the registrant to obtain such an order in a Toronto court? In other words, as far as Tucows is concerned, would the Toronto court trump all other foreign courts, as Toronto is where Tucows is based (and indeed that's the jurisdiction expressly specified in all Tucows/OpenSRS registration agreements)?
