A serious question here: why does this matter to most readers of Hacker News? What is the connection to the concerns of people who are developing new technologies, possibly to use those technologies in software-as-a-service businesses based on the World Wide Web?

To the extent that business models are highly responsive to the legal environment, events that signal broader trends in the way laws are (or aren't) being enforced seem entierly relevant to those operating under them.
