Well what a shitty situation.
But, the lawyer for the defendant is correct, there is no way to effectively (my addition) geo-block content. A VPN or using the TOR Browser is all you need to appear to come from any other country, once something is on the internet there can be no expectation of privacy.
I have no problem with people wanting to use OF or be creators there, that is their choice. But both parties have to know that they are not private when they are there, the fact you visit OF or are a creator there is discoverable for someone motivated to discover that info.
I mean, just look at how much advertising there is for VPNs, where they explicitly tell you they can be used to bypass regional restrictions.
They had to know those regional restrictions were easy to bypass.
