Oh yeah.. you'd be silly to be complacent about it no matter where you are. I sure as fuck wouldn't ignore the new 2257 regs even in NL - why go out of your way to break another country's law especially one that provides so much income?

I'm just finding it very hard to see how they can create a precedent that would allow anyone from any country to be at the mercy of any other country's crazy laws. Especially from countries not entered into free trade agreements or other trade contracts that may specify internet use. Some countries won't mind a ruling that applies both ways (libel) but when it comes to extraditing 500 of their own citizens for something legal? And what of other countries not in the mood to be pushed around in a one way manner outside of the close knit western US/UK/CA/AU etc?

Then again thats probably because im not a lawyer
