Nobody knows the answer to this.

"As in, a judge would briefly think 'nice try' and send you to federal prison. Is this a concern for rsync.net?"

I'm not sure I parse your sentence correctly, but the only actor here is the US corporation named rsync.net. It is the entity that takes these actions (or lack thereof) and it would be the object of follow-up actions/proceedings/decisions - whatever they might be.

Thanks for the honest answer. I wasn't clear on who would be at risk because I just don't know how these things work. It's a bold position to take.
I could see a contempt of court “charge” against the company until they comply. But being a company, they can’t be jailed, so it’d just be a daily fine.
