@Heather Burns

AFAIK, the idea that a company that has no physical presence (employees, incorporation, servers) in the EU is carrying out an action in the EU (e.g. transacting business, when someone carries out an ecommerce transaction), when someone in the EU does something on its non-EU hosted website is, at this point, an untested theory, not a legal fact. The EU cannot abolish the existence of other sovereign nations states, and declare its own worldwide jurisdiction, simply by arbitrary fiat.
