If this is deemed illegal in an US court then the OSA will be unenforcebale against US entities in the US (though not sure what's needed to set precedent).

This is important because otherwise UK fines may be enforceable in US courts.

UK law is generally unenforcible in the US except extradition agreements for crimes commuted while residing in the UK. That's not the case here and there's no agreement that applies to this case.

    It is possible to enforce UK judgements and fines in the US, though my understanding is that it is not simple or guaranteed.

    I suppose the action 4chan is taking in US court is exactly to avoid this possibility.
