Will they be able to collect any of that judgement?

Depends on what kind of effort they want to make to get at Time’s assets. I doubt Time, or its parent company, has enough holdings or sales in Indonesia to satisfy the judgment out of hand.

I assume they will come to the United States and try to get a U.S. federal court to recognize the award and get it paid. Time will, of course, refuse and there will be a trial on the merits. If Time’s reporting is accurate, it will be pretty hard for the offended party to make their case. (Guess which federal judicial district the case will be initiated in? It is so obvious.) The case will end up before the U.S. Supreme Court. In the end, despite Ginsberg and other liberal justices love for international law, the case will be decided in favor of press’ freedom to investigate and report.
