Would WMF, being in the US, need to worry about this to any greater degree than it worries about, say, Chinese publishing restrictions, or UK "superinjunctions"?
First, WMF operates globally, and while I took pains as general counsel, just as the WMF legal team does now, to limit exposure around the world, it is a mistake to suppose that jurisdictional protections are invariably impenetrable.
