We can't be expected to follow the laws of every country in the world, that would be impossible since doing what's required by law in one country (giving model id's to secondary producers for instance) violates the law in another country. (EU privacy laws)
We can only follow the laws where we reside and incorporate our businesses, otherwise we'd be subject to prosecution from every jurisdiction in the world that has an internet connection.

This is way over the line IMHO.
yes exactly. This is the same example I had in my mind as well.
