4- hope the US DOJ issues a preemptive ruling saying not to comply.

I wouldn't hold my breath for that last one.

Err, Diane Duane lives in the EU, the Republic of Ireland to be precise.

She can and is pressuring the various democratically elected people to adjust things.

As I mentioned up thread, the EU has been trying to get VAT paid on ‘Electronically supplied services’ supplied from outside the EU since 2003 at least. Various US states would like Amazon to collect sales tax for them.

Things are not moving fast.
