When France or some other E.U. country tries this, the U.S. gets angry! In
those cases, we claim that they are intruding on our jurisdiction and that
laws that should apply depend on where the server is housed.
Of course, in pure American fashion, we forget we made this assertion when
the tables are turned.
BTW, the E.U. no longer takes this stance. They now believe the French
anti-Nazi Yahoo ruling was incorrect.
