I cannot imagine why any US American company would comply with an unenforceable foriegn enforcement notice.

because they want to keep foreign paying customers not just domestic
An unenforcable enforcement notice won't lose them customers.
Tell that to rt.com or ThePirateBay or Sci-Hub

none of which are accessible directly from the UK.

and rt.com is super secret blocked

Not due any *unenforcable" enforcement notice, right?

Anyway, SciHub.org is accessible directly from UK on both ISPs where I am.

Oh right, Sci-Hub has changed, I didn't know.

What I meant was it doesn't matter if they don't voluntarily eventually they'll just be locked out of the market and their staff issued with arrest warrants should they set foot in the UK. It's not just a debt, it's a crime.
