No. You want it because you are shortsighted. Others don't want that. If it is illegal, go and sue.

They have been suing and winning. Yet Cloudflare continues. I'm not a fan of overzealous companies, like La Liga, cutting out massive portions of the internet in Spain during football matches, but Cloudflare isn't the good guy here either.

La Liga sued Cloudflare in Spanish court and won. Cloudflare now starts taking down content that directly violates La Ligas copyright, but mainly only in Spain. It looks like Cloudflare will happily still serve the exact same content outside of Spain.

In response to these court rulings, the got the US government involved and now there is talk of this being a digital trade barrier.

You don't sue for criminal activity, the police come and collect you and you go to jail.
