Re: Under what law can Amazon take action?
said by Karl Bode  :I was curious about this as well, and fired an e-mail to a lawyer friend. Would there be much of a case against a plugin, created in the Netherlands, that doesn't actually change the target website? The thing about law suits (in the U.S.) is that anyone can file a law suit against anyone else for any reason. The only thing it takes is money for court costs and lawyer fees. Once a person is sued, they have to respond otherwise he/she will lose the suit.
If a large corporation decides to sue you, it's going to take a large amount of money and time to defend yourself, even if you have a good chance of winning the suit.
This is the MPAA/RIAA's method of operation. Many people would rather settle than go through that process.
