A foreign sovereign can command anything to anyone... without a reasonable expectation that anyone will follow it.
Even in Canada, I am not obliged to respond to American subpoenas unless and until my government commands me to. Only your sovereign can command you to do anything. A foreign sovereign has zero right to anything outside of it's own purview.
Here is an excellent quote
From the "OFFICES OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS"
http://www.justice.gov/usam/usam-3-19000-witnesses#3-19.320
"Since foreign nationals residing in the foreign countries are not subject to the subpoena power of United States Courts, their attendance can be obtained only on a voluntary basis. Obtaining testimony from foreign nationals is often a delicate matter, and care must be taken to avoid offending the sovereignty of the foreign country involved."

Hi Tyler,
Thanks for sharing. I've been reluctant to publish ours, because with the wrong interpretation -- without relating it to the sheer amount of data we push -- it may paint a negative picture on Tor.
Also, funny how they simply assume how you (in Luxembourg) and the hoster (in Romania) can be "commanded" via a US subpoena. I agree that it's best to give them a straightforward answer, but you are not required to do so.

Hi I just wanted to let you know that Washington sent us a subpoena regarding one of our exit nodes in Romania. They want to know the real IP behind the Tor Network. I mailed them what Tor is and why I can't help them in identifying this person. Nevertheless I will give you the link to the full subpoena. Maybe you guys find it interesting. I will forward the subpoena to our lawyer as well.
