We are all playing a board game where the rules say billionaires win every time. You either keep pretending that our society is just and keeping to the rules the capitalist class wrote is good for society, or you can also realize that everyone does what they can get away with and the “lost profits” of Netflix et al. are just as much collateral damage as homeless people we refuse to house because REIT line go up.

The “escorted away” thing legally looks like as when someone wants to break into a store and is walking around the storefront with a crowbar, and police come out and just observe and deter the likely perp until they go away.
They can’t tell the vessel to go away, but they can put a few proverbial spotlights on it so it doesn’t do things it shouldn’t be doing.
Oh, BTW, this is exactly the sort of situation that goes down again and again in China, except there the Chinese actively ram ships and endanger aircraft in their EEZ.
No, it’s simple, you only have to provide ID, and if enough people sign, the govt has to address it.
Like old times, our young men and their young men decimate each other, then they go murder and rape whoever they can on the other side. Make wars great again!
