    But the US can impose a few inconviniences on you:

    “You lose immediate access to all the main credit cards that go through the Swift system, which is controlled by the U.S.,” she said. “My Amazon and Google accounts were closed. You cannot pay for your utilities, your subscriptions. You’re completely crippled when it comes to booking hotels, trains, flights. You can’t buy dollars because your name is flagged.”.

      Operators of pirate sites don’t tend to publicize their identities.

        Yea, the defendants are

        Anna’s Archive, f/k/a

        Pirate Library Mirror, et al.,

        edit: but Alexandra Elbakyan does sci-hub under her own name and just ignores US courts, since Kazakhstan doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the USA.

          If the US really wants to, they’ll just come kidnap you.

      If the President chooses to sanction them, yes. A judge cannot impose that kind of sanction because they have limited jurisdiction.

      The court can order you to pay, and it can order US banks to seize your money. But a US court cannot order France to seize your money.

      Basically, judgements are a judicial function with a more limited scope and sanctions are akin to foreign policy but can extend as far as we are able to force/negotiate.
