This does all raise an interesting question of what jurisdictions actually
cover. In the "superinjunction" case for example, which of these is legally
able to be sued:


   - A UK citizen who posts the names online from their home in the UK and
   then remains in the UK after - obviously "yes".

   - A US citizen who reads the names on Twitter and re-posts them online
   from their hotel while on vacation in the UK, then remains in the UK for
   some time

   - A UK citizen who reads the names on Twitter and re-posts them online
   from their hotel while on vacation in the US
   1/ actionable while still on vacation in the US?
   2/ actionable upon return to the UK?

   - A US citizen who reads the names on Twitter and re-posts them online
   from their home in the US
   1/ actionable while in the US (having not traveled)?
   2/ actionable when they travel to the UK on vacation a while later?


Just curious which of these is litigable or in contempt, and which is not.
