I hate BFL, but I think this is funny. I have visions of a german guy in an interpol uniform with a little blue light on his car roof knocking on BFL's doors and just being waved away like a mosquito. It's a US corporation. Pound sand, Germany.
Its not that funny.. A german court can confiscate every product that BFL ships into the EU.
That people will risk the purchases from everyone who lives in Europe..
So that would be the Germans screwing other Germans. Not prosecuting BFL. How does that nip the problem in the bud, exactly?
Oh sorry.. I forgot that most are from the us.... There are germans in europe.. but not everyone in europe is german.. like there are dogs in the US but not everyone in the US is a dog....
Aw I hurt your feelings. I'm sorry. There, now let's move on and I'll rephrase so you can (hopefully) understand.
"That would be the Germans screwing everyone in the EU, not BFL. How exactly does that nip the problem in the bud?"
The idea is to screw BFL for further business in Europe. It takes way too long though.
Apart from that, if someone launched a fraud investigation and someone was actually sentenced while in absence (Which can happen) then a European arrest warrant would ensure that he gets nowhere near anywhere in the EU anymore and will be arrest in any country that has extradition treaties with the European Union countries.
To be honest, the EU warrant is the most insane tool I know of. Look at Julian Assange. I have seen German people dragged from the UK to Spain because of their name, since there was an EU arrest warrant in Spain.
Of course, it all cleared up. In Sevilla.
Another variation is that you might create a small whirlwind that is... well coming over to the US. BFL's ideas about contract laws are already iffy and completely wrong, from what I have learnt about them. So probably, they might get into trouble at some time. Justicia is moving slowly, but she rarely stops moving once set in motion...
