They do so at their peril, not even the almighty USA can withstand the full unfettered Viking fury of Iceland.

The domain could be taken down, not the website.

They could still operate under eveonline.is for example.

Oh internets how we first made you work.

But yeah DNS not the same thing as taking down a website.

Edit: we probably need to add some sort of checks/balances into what the fed can do about internet stuffs such as this domain thing.
