    Only if they give a shit about some random country’s shit law.

    There are some treaties in play that allow copyright law to be enforced in some other jurisdictions, but that’s a far cry from a VPN. Switzerland isn’t going to help you enforce nonsense judgements against companies that don’t break any of their laws or laws most of the first world respects.

      Unfortunately this is likely from an EU country, which usually carries a little more weight when it comes to cross-border law enforcement co-op.

            It actually is. Switzerland isn’t part of the EU, and their cooperation agreement with europol is limited to specific things.

            They absolutely will not cooperate with bullshit harassment laws against their citizens or businesses.

              Unfortunately what you and I consider bullshit harassment laws are not necessarily (and often not) considered that by governments. We can both agree how ridiculous something like this is, if it happened, but I severely doubt courts would have a similar attitude towards it.

                Again, you’re ignoring Switzerland’s actual position and their actual history.

                Switzerland doesn’t enforce other countries’ laws.
