Banishment

The ultimate enforcement mechanism on the net is the ability of each owner of an online system to banish an offending user who has violated applicable rules or breached contractual obligations.

This is closely related to the ability (and, often, contractual right) of system operators to delete offending or infringing files.

Domain name registries also have effective power to eliminate a key online identifier of a party who has not complied with the registration contract.
