If Anticorporatistan enacts a law that Big Evil Co., Inc. thinks might somehow limit its ability to make a profit, Big Evil Co., Inc. can sue Anticorporatistan for the profits it thinks, at its sole discretion, it would lose because of the new law.

- shakethemonkey 12y agoThey don't like fair use, but it is not clear fair use protections could be legislated away without a court overturning any such clause with a first amendment argument. If that were to happen, foreign corporations could sue the US for damages, and win, but no other legal remedy would be available -- they could not stop the fair use from continuing. Maybe they could sue again the following year.
