[governance] today's Wash Post editorial

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

This is one of those situations where a nation can and will exert it's 
sovereignty on entities located in its jurisdiction.

If they had used say a es domain and somehow fallen foul of Spanish law 
this would have happened to them there too, or if it were compliant 
with Spanish law they would typically not face this issue. At least not 
without the doj having to deal with their counterparts in Spain
