Webby,

What you are saying is *incorrect* --according to the lawyer.

I am guessing German law may be relevant if you are doing business with German citizens.

So you've never had a German citizen as a customer? Or an English citizen? Or an Australian? Or a Candian?

Does having a customer from a foreign nation make you subject to their laws?

Maybe you had a customer from Saudia Arabia... does that make you subject to Sharia law?

What you are saying is ludicrous. :1orglaugh

You can try to reduce it to the absurd, but...

Yes, I am saying just that.

Doing business with citizens in a foreign country may mean you are subject to foreign laws. That is my understanding of what the lawyer said.

God dammit! 4 pages into this fucking thread and no FBI agents have contact me to tell me how I can get paid to surf GFY all day.

News for ya DH :winkwink:

I really do not care what your lawyer said - you have already assigned much to this guy which is clearly bullshit (and seriously doubt he even said it - tho may have been soundbites again). He is your lawyer - not mine and does not represent "foreign webmasters" as a group.

Guess about German law if your like - it is irrelevant to anyone other than those based in or having a corp in Germany. Exactly the same with your US bullshit tales - you have no "special arrangement" under any US law other than where the US has ratified treaties etc - and no powers to enforced any "assumed laws" (a "foreign judge" would kick their ass out of court).

Dunno why I bother wasting time on this, but since started will say (to avoid the usual sidestepping and warping) - there are obvious issues any country would be pleased (usually) to resolve - ie sale of goods ad nausea, - however that is not what you were claiming - namely "foreign webmasters have to comply with US law". That is bollocks.

Have a nice day and don't waste my time :thumbsup

FBI agents have better shit to deal with that the stupidity of GFY :winkwink:

Shit.. you get more absurd with every statement DH... utter bullshit.
