> Anybody who does business in Europe or even has users in Europe is subject to this law.

Anybody? Sure technically in the same way that going 58 in a 55mph zone is speeding and could get you a ticket. So the question remains assessing the probability of enforcement of a hypothetically a small US based organization who has European customers. As I read the replies on this page it seems to be a mix of people who have a great deal of theory and not a large amount of practical experience assessing the probability of something actually happening given breaking a European law.
