Google Seeks To Throw Out UK Safari Tracking Suit

judgecorp writes "In the latest twist to the saga of Google's tracking of Safari users, the tech giant has asked to have a U.K. lawsuit dismissed. Google says it is bound by California laws, so plaintiffs will have to come to the U.S. and sue there. Law firm Olswang is bringing the suit on behalf of British users whose Safari browser settings were overridden to help Google target ads; it argues that international organizations should respect the laws that apply where their customers live."

california copyright laws exist only in calif.

Therefore if contract agreements apply ONLY in california, then there is no UK copyright to infringe, since the copyright being enforced is in california. Which isn't the UK.

If I then go to california, Google may then issue a request for the police to pick me up to face charges, but to do so in the UK requires a contract to me that uses UK copyright law to get the UK courts to enforce the copyrights.
