In a decision that could expose U.S.-based Web sites to free speech laws of other nations, a federal appeals court on Monday found that Yahoo could not escape legal action in France for violating a French ban on the sale of Nazi-related items.

A divided panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (news - web sites) concluded that U.S. courts did not have blanket power to block foreign countries from enforcing their laws against Web sites such as Yahoo, the latest chapter in a case that has tested Internet free speech rights in unsettled global legal terrain.

Why can't yahoo just go ahead and ip-block all frenchie ISPs? Problem solved.

seems to me, the easiest way to do this is make the users responsible for thier own surfing. A simple disclaimer, parts of this may not be legal in your country / province, you take responsibility for your own actions.

The whole concept to me is like closing down a library because I object to a book that my kid read.
