Tomorrow, it will be 50. Anything to get people to talk about something else than how he loves to rape kids

How does this work? Is he suing the American "branch" or in British court?

What I mean is, how/why can he sue a British company? Surely American laws don't apply to British companies, otherwise they should comply with the laws of every other country or risk getting sued? We don't expect the BBC to follow russian laws right? Is there some special agreement?

And conversely, how/why can he sue in British court if he is not a British subject?
