    Imagine if they focused on creating tools that could jailbreak iOS devices, John Deere tractors, HP printers, etc. I bet they could sell that as a service. What could the US or American companies do to stop them? They could be Disenshittification Island.

    They wouldn’t be able to pay the creators due to sanctions anyways. Could be seen as a positive because it allows the creators to put pressure on the US to lift the sanctions on the country.

      It’s also completely fine under all international law.
      Following copyright law is more like a trade agreement, so if you feel wronged enough as a nation it’s completely uncontroversial to suspend all or all international copyright law and deal with the consequences (mainly the us being very salty about it).

      The EU contingency for a US attack on Greenland for example is among other steps to suspend all US copyrights recognition and starve the US service industry.
