Dreamworks sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding the site remove it. One of the site's pseudonymous owners, Anakata, replied: "As you may or may not be aware, Sweden is not a state in the United States of America. Sweden is a country in northern Europe [and] US law does not apply here. ? It is the opinion of us and our lawyers that you are fucking morons." Shrek 2 stayed up."
But Sweden is a party to the Berne convention, and therefore American copyrights are enforceable there. So who's the moron?
