Doesn't work that way. Federal courts hear federal legal challenges AND where there are parties from different states/countries. One of issues was federal - computer fraud & abuse. In Seattle region of US - and this region only - computer fraud & abuse need to show that they "broke" into computer. Since Lund had passwords - he didn't break into computer. Didn't matter that he had bad intent (which was uncontested - think about that) - it was just that since he had password, it wasn't part of computer fraud and abuse. Again, only region in US that has this interpretation. In fact - Microsoft and Amazon etc are lobbying congress to overrule this region's interpretation.

So, even if it is state court that issues TRO -it is issued against people doing acts ANYWHERE in US. If the TRO is issued by state court - Nicky, Affinor
& individual thieves will be ordered not to act anywhere against what court says. It won't be pretty and this nonsense of it being limited to Washington state has to stop. It is untrue.

He can't legally do that and even if he tried, ATTBF would just sue him in that state and cite the TRO in Washington (assuming they get it).
