"[update: invasion in a sense as to coerce a country to achieve desired result by hook or by crook]"
That's not even close to invasion if that's what you meant. I really can't imagine that anyone would come close to invading Iceland just because they host a domain.
Yes, and they got sent right back home before they could spell the name of their employer.
And the supreme court just trashed Mastercard for denying service to Wikileaks and its payment provider, DataCell. The verdict includes daily fines that would amount to 2.5 million dollars a year if they choose to continue denying services. (800k ISK daily fines = 292 million ISK yearly ~ 2.54 million USD)
I have high hopes for my country, and I know I'll be the first to go protest if they try to shut it down. Also, The Pirate Bay and file sharing in general has HUGE public support and the response in icelandic media has been nothing but positive, with responses from SMAIS (the icelandic version of RIAA/MPAA) being ridiculed and mocked.
I meant no disrespect to Iceland :-). Everything I hear makes it sound like a fantastic place. I was only pointing out that other countries, like the US, don't always share the same definition of "fantastic," and will exert pressure from all sides on countries that don't conform to their will.
I agree that an aggressor is unlikely to invade Iceland for resolving The Pirate Bay domain, but there remains the possibility for all states that a farcical reason is used to obfuscate the real reason for an invasion.
