| That might not last for long. If france succeeds in forcing ebay to remove all nazi relate stuff from their auctions because of their laws, then this is going to end up going both ways. Sweden will have to shut them down just because people in the US can access their site. I don't know about you, but I don't want other countries laws affecting people in america, and american laws affecting other countries. Eventually a stupid little country is going to pass some crazy law and will want the world to follow it. |

1 edit | That is not correct it would be for eBay France only, not the rest of their sites around the world. French law is not enforcible outside French territory. That was the point of the response letter. This why China filters the Internet in their country. |

Orlando, FL | france could never win this suit. It would totally destroy the internet and u.s. law. The u.s. goes after the downloader of child pornography if the server isnt in the u.s. France is not respecting our laws. Plain and simple it would be a a violation of our rights. However if yahoo france is hosted in france and the company is registered in france there suseptible to french law. The way to go about this is to not let any french people have nazi material. This article is actually very disturbing because i think that we should have the nazi materials floating around to remind us of the horrrors we faced. Like many jews and slaves have said never forget slavery and never forget the haulacust. |

You already forgot, learn how to spell it correctly.
Tragedies happen throughout history, if they ban everything we'll have nothing to collect.

France Really didn't force e-bay to change it was ruled that material was illegal in France and if e-bay didn't remove the material that France would block all French nationals access to e-bay as a whole it was entirely ebays choice wether or not to remove the content |

Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has already started citing other countries' laws and customs as a basis for their rulings. |
