Well, the law could declare itself to be *applicable* world-wide, though it would not be *enforcable* on me as long as I'm not under the jurisdiction of a court that acknowledges US law. Accepting such a licens would however constitute a voluntary agreement on my behalf that whatever law happens to be current in the US is accepted as an integral part of the implied contract I have with the copyright holder. Assuming that such a clause is valid under Danish law (and I don't see why it should be) a Danish court would be required to rule based on that US law in a civil suit by Xerox Denmark, though it would not in a criminal case against me. -- Henning Makholm
