only 84 of the 23,322 "expendable" pirates are still potentially liable for copyright infringement

What was once touted as the biggest file-sharing lawsuit in history has now been decimated following a decision from the U.S. District Court of Columbia. Judge Robert Wilkins ruled that well over 99 percent of the original 23,322 alleged infringers can not be chased down by the makers of The Expendables because they fall outside of the court?s jurisdiction.

the horror copyright holders have to obey the copyright law (and fair use) of the country of the potential "infringer".

no more forcing american laws down the throat of more enlightened countries like Canada (who has a piracy tax, and real privacy laws)
