There are also examples of ISPs who have followed up voluntary based on local court decisions that was directed originally to other ISPs. The reason was to avoid same court process, because there were already established precedent. Other services, like youtube, can block access based on geographical visits.

exactly by accepting DMCA takedown notices, rather then saying please file the appropriate takedown notice, mininova basically got zero protection from their own countries safe harbor provision, and zero protection from the DMCA.
That the point, look at the pirate bays counter notices, it was always laughing and making fun of the idiots who demanded the respond to DMCA takedown notices. You won't find a single one that complained about proper country specific Swedish takedown notices.
but that the point Bein sued mininova into oblivion because they obeyed DMCA takedown notices, and now they are claiming that google is immune because they comply with them.
if that statement was true, mininova would have won their case.
