> The site owners contended that they could not know where an Internet user was geographically located. Clearly, I had proven the opposite.

I've spent a lot of time working with the Maxmind and other paid datasets for IP geolocation. One thing you'll quickly notice is that they disagree with each other, sometimes giving answers on different continents.

There's challenges here. IP addresses are dynamically assigned. They are bought and sold to different companies regularly.

That's not even getting into problems like VPNs, or remote browser sessions. The details and context are lacking here, but I disagree that you can be certain where a user is located using those tools and its harmful to believe you can.
