humm. I thought this was interesting.

?The U.S. federal court system allows a plaintiff to sue a foreign entity in any U.S. district,? he said. ?We don?t care where you are or who you are; if you steal from us, we?re going to get you.?

Of course stealing is wrong but it's interesting that somehow the US courts have power over people or entities in other countries. If I'm a Japanese citizen, for example, and someone in the US sues me, and I say "fuck you, I'm not showing up to court" then how can they do anything? Are they going to show up in Japan and arrest me? I don't get it.
