I wonder what European UFies think by shminux2006-11-19 12:55:59
  Then I wonder what US thinks about.. by DukeP 2006-11-19 12:55:59
This Yahoo news.

Particular this one here: "If American companies have to worry that foreign judgments entered against them might be enforceable, it could end up with companies censoring their Web sites," said Mary Catherine Wirth, senior corporate council at Yahoo and a professor at University of California Hastings College of The Law.

As an european, this strikes me mightily in the face. American lawyers have gone and tried to jail a young Norwegian man for posting code that allows Linux based computers to watch DvD's.

So here the US 9'circuit is considering to ignore forign laws. I REALLY hope that they consider this ruling to work in reverse as well....
