    NY Times vs Njalla

    Njalla does comply with some requests, and was forced to shut down some pirate bay instances at one point, though. Ghost is another privacy domain seller.

    Theres also a term for companies called “Bulletproof Registrars.” For example, some Malaysian Registrars apparently don’t have an address and cannot actually recieve most subpoenas.

    Mostly VPNs, I don’t know too much about similar cases with server hosts or domain sellers.

      NY Times vs Njalla

      Do you have an official record of them not complying with an official court-ordered subpoena? I looked into “NYT vs Njalla”, and it seems like it was the NYT making a private request to Njalla under threats of legal action, but no legal action followed [1][2].

          TorrentFreak reported that Njalla did not hear back from the New York Times after sending the response.
