IANAL but if they want to assert copyright in the UK, Ireland, Canada and Australia, wouldn’t they have to file suit in those countries and not New York?
The assertion is copyright there is different from copyright here, how is a New York court supposed to rule on that? 🤔
The simple answer is, and I shit you not, they look it up and try their best.
If everything else about the question at hand and the parties to the litigation makes sense for a particular court, they’re more than willing to interpret foreign law with the right amount of notice and limits to the scope of the inquiry. Some of the procedural hijinks you may see in this case could involve trying to remove it to courts in those countries though.
