"When countries attempt to control content on the Internet by applying their domestic laws to speech originating outside of their country, the threat to freedom of expression is real. Imagine if every Web site were subject to the laws of all 180 countries in the world. Ironically, it would be the voices from poorer countries that might be stifled the most, as small creators of content would find it impossible to comply with so many different laws.
Making these arguments, CDT filed a "friend of the court" brief in support of Yahoo !, joined by the American Association of Publishers, the Freedom to Read Foundation, the ACLU, Human Rights Watch, People for the American Way, the Society of Professional Journalists, and others. CDT is following the case closely." http://www.cdt.org/publications/pp_7.06.shtml
