The Danish Supreme Court ruled on 23 March 2021 that blocking access to illegal content on a website must be directed against the infringer or other technical intermediaries, e.g. the web hosting company, before an injunction can be directed against Punktum dk. The order can be found here (Danish only).
This is because a deactivation of a domain name is not only important for the website, but also for other services associated with the domain name, e.g. e-mail service, which will no longer be able to be used.
A seizure order should only be directed against Punktum dk when it is difficult to act against the registrant, the web hosting company, or the name server responsible, where they are located outside of Denmark, and it is deemed proportionate to remove both access to the website and the e-mail service.
