That is just great.
Seriously that is messed up! How could a judge make a ruling like that when it is obviously protected by the law!

Since it's an American company, they can only give out lawsuits to Americans. Everyone else is out of their jurisdiction. So your safe, I think.
I agree, we don't have the right to make a decision for the whole world, it's just wrong.
If they start handing out lawsuits left and right, our economy might drop dramatically. People would have less money to spend. If people don't spend money, companies lose business and fail, no companies means no jobs, and if that happens we are gonna have another Great Depression...now isn't depressing?
