How do you feel about people who don't do business in the US defying US court orders? Ignoring a court order may be something you can do, but it's generally not a good look.
- progbits 3y agoI feel great, for example when local ISPs or seedbox providers take DMCA notices and flush them down the toilet. (Yes, not the same as court order but same story)
- solardev 3y agoI'd pay extra to get a livestream of that.
- cmcaleer 3y agoI understand that US courts are not sovereign everywhere in the world, just as North Korea's courts are not sovereign everywhere in the world. So I guess I'd feel indifference.
- pmontra 3y agoMaybe, but the USA have more global reach than NK. Depending on how much those courts want to push their requests and where you live or travel to, you might even end up extradated to the USA.
- meepmorp 3y agoI don't especially care, particularly in a case where someone is suing to hide (ostensibly truthful) reporting on their shady dealings. If a US person were doing this in another country, I'd expect them to be told to fuck right off. Would you just accede to the dictates of a court in a country to which you have no connection? That a much worse look, imo.
- thecatspaw 3y agothe better question is: why should a company be bound by laws outside of the areas they operate in?
