French Courts May Face Resistance by U.S. Internet Firm

It turns out the U.S. federal judiciary isn't so sure that it doesn't have jurisdiction over two French concerns that won decisions against Yahoo in French courts, forcing the online giant to change its policy on restricting sales of Nazi mementos. Back in 2000, Yahoo asked the federal courts to declare the French decision not recognizable and unenforceable. Yahoo lost that battle in a 2-1 decision. Since then France has become the forum of choice for companies suing U.S. internet firms, racking up an impressive run of victories against American giants such as Google. But now the 9th Circuit has decided have the entire panel of 11 judges decide the case, potentially re-opening the impossibly complex issue of competing jurisdictions that has, in other facets of business, required global treaties to settle.
