No it's not. He has no legal agreement with my DNS provider for them to do jack shit.

He has some legal agreement with his registrar, and maybe indirectly with ICAAN, but that legal agreement means jack shit to DNS providers, who are the ones that ultimately matter.

For an example of DNS providers already using this fact for the public good, see AdGuard DNS

So call your DNS provider and have them not resolve to his address.

It probably won't surprise you to learn that my DNS provider reads HN... so in a sense you could say I am doing that.
