In which democratic country can I invite people to sell multiple copies of the goods they buy from (e.g.) WalMart in my warehouse? Yes, I can buy a Walmart shirt and sell it - no problem. I can't buy a shirt at Walmart, make half a million identical copies, and legally sell them in any democratic country.
I'm going to open a business called WUP Warehouse, and let people sell the stuff they buy - and duplicate - from other companies on my showroom floor. That's called a flea market, btw - and they get busted weekly.
According to you, I should be immune from prosecution as long as I comply with WalMart's written request to remove copies of their products from my shelves.
The real world doesn't work that way - the internet shouldn't, either.

are you really so stupid that you believe that american companies can operate under their home countries laws when they operate in foreign countries.
Trying selling guns in canada like you allowed to do in the states.
walmart in canada has to follow our privacy laws for example
facebook has to follow our privacy laws
naut was arguing you should be able to DCMA a non US host.
mininova complied with DCMa rather then demand that copyright holders obey their countries laws and they actually lost the safe harbor protection that their countries laws would have provided.
obeying a DCMA request for a non US host is actually plain stupid given that ruling.
