This issue has nothing with little politics nor with taxes and shit.
Its about some stupid judge sticking his head in my dark place where the sun dont shine.
When you trust a 100 y/o judge to make a ruling in a tech related issue without a guidance of experts (as was clearly reflected by his words) and about the court's hypocrisy about the subject of sex online (or sex at all). They are probably angry for not getting free access to some bondage pay-sites.
When 1 ruling of theirs says yahoo (a US site) wont be liable for regulation of france (one local community) nor will have to take actions to "clean-up" or prevent offensive material from reaching that comminuty (because its too comlicated...) AND in other ruling say sex-sites must obey any possible stupid community in the US and that suddenly its up for the "publisher" to take measures (as they said "...need only take the simple step utilizing a medium that enables it to target the release...") I say that court is hypocrit and stupid.
What the fuck is that idea with CreditrCards. If I operate a site fer UK people - why the hell should I take US credit card and zip code just to see where in the US some none-user of mine resides? Its not even a site for US communities...
I say the ruling should be - that a warning page in needed saying
"If you are below the age of 18
OR YOU ARE A STUPID CONSERVATIVE BRAIN-DEAD MOTHERFUCKER WHO HAPPENS TO LIVE IN A FUCKED UP COMMUNITY IN THE US NOT SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE THERE ARE WORST THINGS THAN SOME GOOD-OLD PORN AND THAT AGREE WITH THE US RULING WHILE MAYBE TOUCHING YOUR LITTLE CHILD IN HIS PRIVATE PLACE OF SENDING HIM TO THE CHURCH TO GET SEXUALLY EDUCATED Click here to go away to a Nazi memorabilia harmless site that will shape your brain back into the 3rd reich.
Note: the Internet is a dangerous place full of free information and you may realize in time that there are worst things that sex (hard for you to believe - I know) so you better rething the whole Internet idea and TELL YOUR FUCKING COMMUNITY LEADERS THAT YOU WISH THEY DISCONNECTED YOUR NO-USE COMMUNITY FROM THE NET
