Could you not find someone in a foreign country to make the call for you, as your representative? I just find it hard to believe that they don't have their own copyright laws. I can see them ignoring an American citizen, but if someone from over there contacts them OR their hosting company with the threat of legal action from within their own country, I'd like to think some action would be taken.
Scenarios like this are why I'm not a model.
Yeah okay, it's not the ONLY reason, but still.
