IANAL but doesn't DMCA only apply in USA, whereas this case is taking place in Europe, and would thus provide legal precedent in some European jurisdiction?

- saddlerustle 4y agoThe DMCA is the US’s implementation of the 1996 WIPO copyright treaty, which almost the entire developed world has ratified.

- matheusmoreira 4y agoThe US Trade Office publishes a literal naughty list of countries that aren't playing nice with its intellectual property laws. Full of language such as "stakeholders" too. Corporations literay use the might of the US government to police their imaginary property across the globe. Don't underestimate these monopolists. My country regularly makes it to this list. I remember some MPAA asshole coming here to push his agenda being met by journalists asking him why this should be a priority in a country without universal basic sanitation. Now we have increasingly regular IP enforcement. One such operation made national news a few days ago.
