Technically, but not really, they have to remain compatible with their international agreements, and their economic ambitions. > But the Swedish government gets to make those laws and determine which apply to whom. There is a good reason for this as soon as any nation officially declares it would punish individuals like this, corps will leave - or at least no longer employ natives into decent positions. These kind of laws are much rarer, at least in US/Europe, and not the kind of law we are talking about here which appear to apply to corporations. Very often, companies themselves are help liable for the actions of a company - laws that allow the government to punish individuals would have to specifically criminalise the act even for locals acting on behalf of those corps. Any country can violate international practise, but are unlikely to do so (at least in Europe) because of the consequence on international relations.Ī law on Helvetica font would require legal authority. This is a big assumption, and depends if you mean literally that they can do this, or if they can do so sustainably. > I didn’t make any assumptions about what Swedish law can or cannot do This is because by registering in Sweden, the business has given the Swedish government a measure of control over their activities.
Likewise, you are correct that Sweden can make laws that apply to Swedish corporations even when their staff reside abroad. But the Swedish government gets to make those laws and determine which apply to whom.
Taxes are a great example here: there are laws that apply only to activities of foreign corporations, and laws that apply only to local corporations. Likewise, yes, the Swedish government surely has many laws with carve outs for different use cases. If Swedish law says that you can’t use Helvetica font on your website, and the punishment is 10 years of hand-tracing a better font on stone tablets, then they’re able to apply that law to a Sweden-based web developer, regardless of whether or not he works for a company that’s registered in Spain. I didn’t make any assumptions about what Swedish law can or cannot do. This isn’t really responsive to what I’m saying or what you asked me.
