I could get default judments against foreign companies all day long in court, but they aren't worth anything unless the foreign company is stupid and decides to subject themselves to US jurisdiction by showing up.

They have not done this. Basically Linhardt wasted his money on court fees.

Standard legal practise for many UK companies, if you want to come and sue us then you'll have to do it on our soil. e360 may have won the case by default but they still have to pay thier lawyers and they still remain on the blacklist. Still at least they feel like they won.. Nice controversial title there shoe..

Clearly the judge was bamoozled. The ruling is meaningless in the scheme of things. There is no way they can collect anything on that judgement. The Spamhaus people could go to Illinois and kiss the judge on the cheek and the plaintiff would still not be able to collect a dime on this judgement. The unfornate fact is with default judgements, it seems the judge has to simply rubberstamp every stupid demand asked for... if this were a real issue it could easily be vacated, but it is not an issue as they have no way to collect on it and nobody associated with Spamhaus or using their list is in the least bit of jeopardy because of this.

Maybe they didn't want to hire a bunch of American lawyers to defend themselves on a lawsuit with no consequence. Why wouldn’t Spamhaus show up?
