I find the most interesting thing about this situation is that two 
litigants, both New Zealanders, who already have a case running before NZ 
courts on the same problem, choose to get a preliminary injunction in US 
court because that works faster.

If this holds up, it might mean that US law applies to the .com domain, period.
