For an international corporation, in a global economy, a government <i>is</i> just another customer. They can and will sue, like an upset customer can, but will anyone go to jail for this?<p>I&#x27;m actually not sure. The significant difference here, between the US government and any other government, is certainly a valid one. This is the government that oversees the country where their headquarters are located. It&#x27;ll be interesting to see how this plays out.<p>I have no doubt we are witnessing an event that will have an insurmountable influence on legal systems across the globe. Either way, a significant precedent is being set here.
