I'm not worried about them sueing me for money, I'm more concerned with them getting a judge to put a temporary block on my hosting servers in USA like they did with David Lace etc. If the servers are in USA and the infringement is on those servers then surely they must have ways of sueing inside America.
I talked to a lawyer here in Australia who said if someone sued me for copyright infringement for instance, they could sue me in USA where the servers were hosted and if I didn't show up they win by default and then they bring the lawsuit to Australia and have a high court approve it as valid for a small fee. Making it so the Australian govtement recognizes the lawsuit result as valid and then they come after me for money. If this is true I'm wondernig if acacia can do the same or at least use the DMCA or some other law to do this or put a block on hosting services.
Are we 100% sure about this foreign lawsuits stuff?
