I am a Canadian and am very concerned about this new law. I have my sites hosted in the US.
I read through this thread and from what I can gather, most of you seem to think "foreign" people will be exempt from this law.
Do you think I should switch to Canadian hosting, or should it be ok to stay with US hosting as long as I don't live in the states?
Please let me know if anyone finds out for sure. Don't forget about us up here, we don't want to go to jail either :winkwink:
Really though, I don't see how they could do anything to Canadians, because they wouldn't have jurisdiction or authority to do so would they? If the RIAA can't sue me for sharing music, then I don't see how the gov't or whatever could sue me for this.
The only way I believe I would be endangered is if the US asks my gov't to "hand me over" which I doubt they would go through the trouble of even worrying about, unless I was a big time felon, which I'm not.
