Well the American privacy laws aren't as tough as our DPA and the Canadian privacy laws, but they do have them and thats why the US webmasters are confident that the law will be thrown out.
I have had the same answer from all of them aswell about the question of a UK webmaster on a US server. Basically our DPA is why they say that we will not be targeted by the American lawmen.
I think it will get thrown out from what I have read but it won't be a quick fix.
The people at Danni.com are guessing between 1 to 2 years before anything happens. Things just don't happen quickly in Courts no matter what country you are in. So I guess they are going have to be complied with for a while at best!
