1. Get a domestic judgment that shows that in the eyes of a court of
competent jurisdiction in your own home that a violation of your laws
has occurred.
2. Take that judgment and use the laws of the foreign jurisdiction to
domesticate the judgment and make it enforceable there.
Step #2 may be hard and frustrating.
But it is better than engaging in private feuding using ad hoc (and thus
contrary to the notion of predictable justice) procedures.

That is - blocking until people decide to establish and use competing,
consistent DNS roots. There is no technical or legal obstacle in the
way of that happening - the only obstacle is an already eroding reluctance.
