Just for those interested in the relevant law... Sony sent a DMCA takedown, which is purely US law. But the EU has implemented EUCD (EU Copyright Directive) which, for practical discussion, does much the same thing. I think that is what they referred to when taking down the content.

Norway is not an EU member.

Ahem, oops. :( That was a silly basic error, sorry.

EDIT: my Norwegian is non-existant but as far as I can make out they have their own equivilant (to the EUCD and DMCA) implementation of the WIPO treaties.

It's not only EU membership what counts, there is a lot of other Europe-wide agreements or even bi-literal agreements between US and Norway.
