The views of Spamhaus can be found at
http://www.spamhaus.org/legal/answer.lasso?ref=1

with this gem as last paragraph:

"A TRO, and indeed any ruling whatsoever issued by a United States
County, State or Federal Court has no validity in the United Kingdom
unless jurisdiction is proven to a British Court. Therefore Spamhaus
correctly ignored the TRO and advises Mr. Linhardt to re-file his case
in a British court when he can prove jurisdiction, but advises
Mr. Linhardt that British courts do not accept US-style 'SLAPP' suits
and impose penalties for lying to the court."
