I simply don't understand how or why a law that has scope in the EU is causing trouble for companies which conduct no business in the EU beyond responding to HTTP requests on a global decentralized telecommunications network. Why would an American internet business which conducts no operations in Europe and has no servers in Europe be subject to regulation that affects the EU? What is going to happen? Is the EU going to target American banks of American businesses and try to extract fines? Is the EU going to extradite owners of these businesses? Are EU courts going to issue default judgements on businesses and individuals?
