Is the EU going to drag them all into court?
This is like saying you never jay walk because you want to avoid the legal hot water. The water isn’t even lukewarm!

No. What is the EU going to do, besides nothing? If you do business in the EU they will take your business away, and if you don't there's nothing they can do. I'm sure we all break some foreign countries laws every day and there's nothing they can do about it.
I do expect fines to be handed to EU companies and I expect them to pay them though.

So, if you feel brave you can challenge some courts on this.
