Federal agents patrol GFY.com

Webby,

What you are saying is *incorrect* --according to the lawyer.

I am guessing German law may be relevant if you are doing business with German citizens.

So you've never had a German citizen as a customer? Or an English citizen? Or an Australian? Or a Candian?

Does having a customer from a foreign nation make you subject to their laws?

Maybe you had a customer from Saudia Arabia... does that make you subject to Sharia law?

What you are saying is ludicrous.

You can try to reduce it to the absurd, but...

Yes, I am saying just that.

Doing business with citizens in a foreign country may mean you are subject to foreign laws. That is my understanding of what the lawyer said.

God dammit! 4 pages into this fucking thread and no FBI agents have contact me to tell me how I can get paid to surf GFY all day.

News for ya DH

I really do not care what your lawyer said - you have already assigned much to this guy which is clearly bullshit (and seriously doubt he even said it - tho may have been soundbites again). He is your lawyer - not mine and does not represent "foreign webmasters" as a group.

Guess about German law if your like - it is irrelevant to anyone other than those based in or having a corp in Germany. Exactly the same with your US bullshit tales - you have no "special arrangement" under any US law other than where the US has ratified treaties etc - and no powers to enforced any "assumed laws" (a "foreign judge" would kick their ass out of court).

Dunno why I bother wasting time on this, but since started will say (to avoid the usual sidestepping and warping) - there are obvious issues any country would be pleased (usually) to resolve - ie sale of goods ad nausea, - however that is not what you were claiming - namely "foreign webmasters have to comply with US law". That is bollocks.

Have a nice day and don't waste my time

FBI agents have better shit to deal with that the stupidity of GFY

Shit.. you get more absurd with every statement DH... utter bullshit.
