Yes, you can. But then you'd need to appear...

obtw there's serious risk of trying to defend a suit yourself. Maybe the judge would take pity on you and grant a continuance for you to find counsel.

So what would happen if an American company that owns the .net domain sued me, a Polish citizen, who owns a .com domain, for that domain? My contract for the domain is with a Polish provider, surely it would have to go through a Polish court, no?

I'm under the impression that all .com is US jurisdiction, considering that they trivially seize them and VeriSign/the owner of the .com registry is a US company
