Yahoo! Not Bound by French Court Ruling

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the the-world-is-not-insane dept.

Klerck writes "Luckily, a US federal judge has ruled that Yahoo! is not bound by the French ruling that demanded that all Nazi memorabilia be removed from its auction site. It's a nice surprise to have a sensible ruling come out of a federal court in times like these."

    Isn't France itself a Nazi memorabila?

    Oh no, certainly not. Haven't you heard yet? American law nowadays applies globally. Since the United States is the most enlightened country in the world with the most enlightened leadership in the world, whatever they think up must be good for the whole rest of the world. Therefore a United States judge can actually overrule any anti-american corporation ruling anywhere in the world. [/Sarcasm]

    Which of course means that this ruling is completly consistent with typical Judicial rulings: protect your own. In this case, "your own" is national sovereignty,

    Which would also describe the original ruling.
