Actually its irrelevant if you remove the posts, in my case I removed them within seconds of being notified.. way it was read to the judge was, links were removed "some time after" that could of been days, weeks or months.
The issue in the eyes of the law is they were there to start with.. not how fast or if you removed.
Have I been back to the USA? no,. I don't need a holiday being ruined at border control ;) Not saying that would happen, just not willing to carry the risk.

"So what did you do then? Obviously not pay it out - so ergo it seems to not be collectable that easily, otherwise anyone can sue you for anything in the US, win by default because you wont defend yourself and ruin you financially in your own country. I know at least here a judgement in the US is not collectable and I would have to be sued locally. "
I'd be asking a lawyer that question regarding what's collectible or not. If your country is a party to the Hague Convention.. they can.
And yeah in the USA they can sue you just like that and flow it right thru the court system, your presence is not required.
Read up on the case: WILLIAMS v. ADVERTISING SEX LLC
Basically a celeb sponsor said they had a sex tape, affiliates went out and promoted that.
The person the sponsor said it was, was not the person in the Video.
She went to google and pulled up the first two pages of links, and sued everyone, "54 affiliates" from all around the world.
One USA webmaster fort it in court, and got let off for lack of jurisdiction.
But she continued the case against 52 others.. out of the USA
No one went to court, just her and the judge
Finally it was throw out of court "lack of jurisdiction"
So she took it to 4th circuit appeals court... and won.
