Aren't there bad things already encoded in the block chain, I thought I read that? How would a court order on an international open source software base be affected? You could order people in the us under court threat to alter the block chain to remove that information. People in other countries could have confusing legal implications. We already have this with us companies who stored info in other countries so the us govt would have a difficult time compelling them to give up info.

Publishing the block chain in question or running a node then becomes a civil and/or criminal transgression. Similar to how torrents were/are handled.
Whack a mole, with whomever has the most force winning (usually a nation state).
