Where are judgements enforceable?

Yahoo! stands on principle and tries to have the US courts rule that a French court's judgement against them will not be enforced in the U.S. Good idea, only it seems that the French aren't pressing the issue. Thus, seems more like a trial balloon test case. . try it when the stakes are low. My question is: don't the stakes seem too low? Don't you have to do something that is important to get a real ruling which can be applied in other cases? Time will tell -- we'll have to see how applicable the facts are in this case to future incidences. Evidently Yahoo thinks it is close enough.
