This judge apparently doesn't even know the law very well...

Why is it that judges over and over again make uninformed decisions regarding computers, technology, and the internet? Just because you know Law doesn't mean you know how the internet operates. I think all judges should go through a manditory training program on what the internet is like. Or even have separate judges who have all the tech certification, a connection to the internet, and a computer to decide legal matters about such things.

I'm talking about the fact that this isn't in the United States. He uhh, has no right to even hold the trial.

Actually he does. A US federal court, at least according to US law, has jurisdiction over Saturn. There IS legal history that supports this. Recall the case of the Russian citazen who cracked the Adobe eBook encryption while he was in Russia. Russian citazen in Russia. At one point, he was vacationing in the US and, upon arrival, was immediately arrested and sent to prison for several months. Although this court doesn't have the physical ability to collect, according to US law, it does have the legal right. Now, if SpamHaus refuses to pay the $11m, their CEO should forget about any future vacation plans to the US because, should he ever set foot on US soil, he will be immediately arrested for contempt of court and held in prison indefinitely until the money is paid.
