I'm waiting for one of these legal actions to cause a company like Facebook to just shut down their service in the local area, and leave a landing page with the email addresses of all the politicians who provoked the outage.

This would be really interesting. But judging by the notorious German copycat startup industry, they would most likely develop a replica of that site.

On a more serious note: I noticed recently that a massive amount of music related videos are blocked on YouTube for all German IP addresses. Instead they show a notice, that the German music-rights organization is preventing this video to be played, i.e. Google has already entered the naming and shaming game. But there seems to be relatively little outcry and people apparently just accept it.

I guess people from outside of the US are already used to the fact that US based companies are often not acting in their best interest.
