They wouldn't pay the fine that would bankrupt them they'd just cut there losses and abandon anything that was seised. They're an American company and the Asian market is what there after nowadays anyway.

If you could cut a dead limb off to save the body, wouldn't you? At the end of the day it depends on how the US and Europe handles civil cases across borders and Microsoft has a lot of ties with the US government.

Just a shame the US government's been completely captured. It's all rot from the top down.

It's not all bad just the federal for the most part. We're working on that but are politicians are as old as the hills. I believe they spend more time listening to corporate lobby pitches than reading the damn news but that's our problem to deal with.

Most of the biggest tech giants have picked up jobs from homeland or the NSA at one point in time or another, Microsoft is just the most prevalent along with Facebook (meta).

I'm stuck with one of the most fucked state governments, too. Actually, it's so bad I've been aiming to leave for a while, and I'll likely be gone within the next six weeks ish.

Well I wish you luck. Moving is no fun IMO

Oh I've been there, done it. But I'm looking forward to the bright lights of New York!
