No it makes people like Paypal, Live Jasmin, etc liable to damages. They will also be ordered to pay the cost of the plaintiff.

So unless everything is outside the US, someone can be served and have to defend themselves. You hosting in Sweden and living in the US or being a US citizen would still get you into the firing line.

Is OPEN better?
