That "evens it out"?

Why even mention it to begin with? My earning an extra 40% on the exchange rate affected you how exactly? It didn't. But the USA having a strong dollar on the world market was definitely a good thing for both of us in a lot of ways back then, I don't see why anyone would want to waste time arguing that it wasn't. Me mentioning about attending shows or going on vacations in the US was only one (or two?) examples of how things tended to at least lean towards evening out, but the fact is, or was, your dollar was worth a lot back then to you as well. And we were both being paid in the same currency, were we not? Your buying power outside the US was incredible, just as mine was here at home in Canada.

You don't have to comply with 2257, don't have to worry about going to jail if you don't comply, and anyone over here will still take your traffic and signups.

It's not only content providers that fall into what I was describing. PussyCash for example is not a content provider. Based out of Cyprus, yet they adhere to 2257 implicitely in order to do business in the US.
But whatever. As I said, we don't "have to" comply, but many of us do, for varying reasons mostly to do with doing good business and continuing to do so.
