Huh, Gryphin, don't bring this up. Growltigga and me might be arguing about Bratwurst but US law extension into the EU is quite a big concern over here as Groltigga will confirm I think. You know, in Europe you cannot convict one to pay 10.000.000 bugs for lost hair but many people just appeal to US courts that happily convict companies in Europe and care nothing for the local laws.
