The DOJ doesn't have the manpower. Still doesn't you aren't breaking the law. So whatever.

Hi GatorB! Hear ya! Frankly that statement from the DOJ is just utter crap. The US DOJ has no relevance in any other country, - tho they are entitled to spout shit about "access" in the US. However, let em spend to few million on blocking access and censoring up the US still more - it's just an unenforceable law.
And you are correct, - anyone who has nada hosting in the US or has US citizenship has no possibility of being "caught" since they are not subject to the laws of the US and... well, basically have committed no crime.
This is one major damned headache for US webmasters - not for anyone else. Tho the effects on the US industry are most likely going to be substantial and little doubt, we shall see a few "small fry" being used to establish precedents prior to attacking bigger fish.
