that has nothing to do with marketing, and everything to do with law.
for example, i live in quebec, a province of canada. quebec is excluded from a majority of canadian contests. this is because quebec law states that 0.5% to 10% of the total contest offerings have to be paid up front to the provincial government, regardless of whether or not the winner is in quebec.
as for superweb saying racism is illegal in nearly every country, where are you pulling this bullshit from? if i hate a specific race, the cops aren't going to bust down my door and stick me in the slammer. however, if i commit a crime with racism as my motivation, then they'll bust down my door. but regardless of whether or not my crime was racially-motivated, i'm still gonna get busted...
