madmax, they don't need to europeans to play ball.

If your hosting is in the us.
If your connectivity comes from a us based company
if your paychecks come from the us
if your processing is in the us
if you are processing with a us based company
if your sponsors are in the us.

If they can't get to you directly, they can enjoin and get nasty with each of the above and make your life a living hell.

Exactly how much money will you make when the checks stop showing up and your servers have no connectivity?

Your not exempt. None of us are.

That gets my back up. Not you Alex - but the thought of what these arseholes might be able to do.

I'd like to think that there's some protection afforded by sovereignty.

All true, I was commenting solely on the criminal prosecution aspect

That's the single most terrifying thing I've read all year. No, strike that - in my entire life. |shocking|

Off to hide the goats...

this is gonna be interesting to see how it plays out... my personal opinion is that as soon as it is listed in the national registry there are gonna be guys in suits and black glasses knocking on some doors of some pretty big people in our industry before any recourse or lawsuits can get through... they want to make an example of somebody to scare the rest of us... hopefully that is just my paranoid opinion but with the republican party looking to push so many judges into office and do away with the filibusters and such who knows what is gonna happen

Yeah - this isn't a war on US based porn...this is a war to rid the internet or porn...while I would feel a little more comfortable being outside of the USA....I wouldn't take that much comfort in it. If the evil materials are making it to computers in the US -- that is all they really care about...I mean it's not like we just run into other countries and impose our will on them because we think they would be better off sharing in our values...ahh...err...scrath that last comment.

IMO this IS a cause for alarm...the best thing that can happen is a good injuction that will keep it tied up in court, but with Bush appointing all of his flunkies to the bench...I doubt we will find a sypathetic ear!

hehehe!

And those turkeys already said that they wouldn't let us legalize pot in Canada, eh! That went over real well!

Charging foreign WMs when there is no relevant law in their own country could be a real hazzle for the Bush folks.

Remember the fun and games with the foreign companies doing business in Cuba.
