US Supreme Court Case over Legal access to data stored in overseas server farms.

[Giuseppe De Francesco]

If US companies violate in any way EU privacy directives (and this would be
the case, big time) they'll be liable both for the criminal offense and the
civil damage, thus I strongly hope none of them will comply with such order
that undermines our EU sovregnity. No US law nor court decision can apply
here in EU unless an EU court approves such an order, and that will be on a
case by case basis.
