&gt; <i>A San Francisco judge awarded Pinterest $7.2 million in damages and legal fees</i> ... <i>against Qian Jin, a Chinese cybersquatter</i><p>Uhm... so that&#x27;s a US judge awarding damages against a Chinese person. What does this translates to practically speaking? This guy won&#x27;t be able to enter the US. What else? Will it be up to the domain registrar to comply with the US court decision? What if the registrar is not US-based?

It says &quot;Order granting default judgement&quot;, does that mean that the guy didn&#x27;t show up or have an attorney present to represent him? That sounds like he didn&#x27;t try fighting the suit and Pinterest won by default (same thing happens civil suits when the defendant pulls a no-show).

Seems like the defendant is just a &quot;shell company&quot;. Qian Jin in Chinese is 金钱, or gold.
