Yes, but again the US cant enforce its laws against other countries.
it is not the world govt/world police, and about time they woke up smelt
the damned coffee and realised that.

Unfortunately for the rest of the world, it can because it has the largest
military and a number of other counties' leaders are willing to make deals
when promised access to the US econmy (thiugh they seem to usually end up
getting screwed when they do this).

Oh I agree the recent FTA between US and Australia is purely in americas favour and sweet F-ALL for Australians, I am disgusted the Australian Govt signed the deal. I don't deal with US and wont until they 'fair up'
However the FTA does no require me to bow down to US law.

Imagine the nightmare... every person of every country would have to know the laws of every other country, including those 500 population countries nobody has ever heard of, just so they wont infringe, uh no way...


In addition a US citizen providing the URL of the livna repository is
committing an offence (The 2600 magazine case)

Thats a resident of US, I'm not :)
If I did that, the worse that could happen, in US is that a US court could order any post I made that is located on a US server be removed from the US server, they cant order removal from a EU or AU one.

Most likely US corporate interests have influenced your country's laws.
For example if you are in the EU, members are supposed to be enacting DMCA
like laws. Software patents could still end up being forced upon EU members
as well.

Australian laws are based on the UK system, precendences set in the UK courts have far greater weight then precendences set in US and have done so for many years, apart from the FTA which obviously was a suck deal to keep someone happy about something, the rest was a joke to advantage US and I cant wait for a change in Govt (likely this year) to fix the wrong doings (since the opposition was completely against it).
