Some FYI - (from hard learned experience)

Any file on any server is Public Domain (US) That doesn't mean you or your server needs to actually exist physicaly in the US. It means if your files can be accessed from the US your files are 'free game' to US users. I have no idea about Canada, UK, Aus, etc, laws.

It's sorta like a newspaper article. If it's published in the public domain then it is truely public. Including any supporting documentation (files). That could mean .js or .css or .txt or whatever.

1. Saying "Any file on any server is Public Domain" is bollocks.

2. Even if it were not, saying "That doesn't mean you or your server needs to actually exist physically in the US" is also bollocks. If you do something that is illegal in the country I or my server exists in, I can sue you in that country. If I can convince the police to take an interest in that country, then they can apply for your extradition to stand trial in the country that I or my server exists in. In cases like this the US usually agree to extradition.

3. If you have an opinion on a legal matter like this, please always check your facts before making a post that someone might believe, and end up getting arrested for following. It is alright posting bollocks if it does not matter, but it is not alright if you are going to get someone even greener than you into trouble.
