They can run. They cannot hide.

Wasn't there a dispute recently in which a US court ordered the piratebay domain be turned over in a similar matter for a lawsuit that was not contested? If I recall correctly, the Canadian registrar basically said "doesn't apply to us in Canada, sorry" and ICANN said "not under yours or our authority, sorry.".
Am I mistaken?
