Court Dismisses Yahoo! Free Speech Suit
An AP newswire article by David Kravets, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
A federal appeals court on Thursday skirted answering whether Yahoo Inc. was liable to pay a fine of about $15 million to a Paris court for displaying Nazi memorabilia for sale in violation of French law.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed a federal lawsuit brought by Yahoo in California challenging the fine levied five years ago for allowing French users to buy and sell the memorabilia banned in France.
Yahoo asked the court to rule that the judgment could not be collected because it violated the company's free speech rights in the United States.
