Comment American judicial logic (Score 1) 411
As a european this just sounds like the usual Americal judicial logic: laws that demand things from entities over whom the laws has no jurisdiction.
Consider MPAA vs. The Pirate Bay:
MPAA: You have violated paragraphs A, B and C of the third amendment of the fifth subsection of the ACMD! Cease and desist!
TPB: This is not America you schmucks, we don't care.
MPAA: But, but... we are Americans!
TPB: Up yours.
Just because you have a law doesn't mean people and companies in other countries (or states in this case) have to follow them.
However, I can see that this is slighly more complicated since there might be federal laws that also play a role here.
