Now you can be an arse and pick b or c, but why would you ?

Why would you turn away a very affluent market just because you are getting your knickers in a twist about jurisdiction ?

And why would you want to waste resources on peeps that either are unable to pay, or are not confident enough to get their credit card out on your site.

Fighting this is really not the smart move. Costly and ultimately futile.
