very serious question for legal experts or long term webmasters

You're screwed.



But seriously, other than putting a fatwa on your head, their legal recourse tends to be limited quite substantially to international requirements for adult content.

If all of your business parameters meet the standards of the jurisdiction you abide in, you should not worry too much.

You should keep into consideration, however, that if they do take things to the extreme, there are certain international standards regarding hate/anti-religious speech that they can attempt to categorize your site under. Particularly if it is an islamic state (and you are using their national flag).

In short, lawyering up might not be such a bad idea.

The only problem I see is that you use their flag.

Since you use latinas under a fake flag... just make your own flag of something with photoshop. Put some arab characters and you are ready to go. Make sure that what you put on the flag is not something offensive in arabic language and you are done.

Ask some arab translator to write "Our models have no hemorroids" and put that on the flag you have just invented. As much your site will make it in the news for the webmaster being stupid resulting in more sales... or get you viral marketed by some "smart guy", resulting in more sales again.

As for the flag itself... don't worry much. 90% of the americans don't recognize any other flag than the USA one. You can safely make your own flag and everyone will be happy.

Their internet content complaints to the western world fall on deaf ears.

In theory they could nab you at the airport if you ever flew into their country, but I've never heard of this happening.

you probably didnt have enough 'Praise Allah's on your blog

i changed the flag ...

for example, if porn is illegal in a nation, and you put fake descriptions against pictures saying that they are pics of girls from that nations...can they try to come after me thinking that they are pics from their nation? All the pics are just from affiliate programs with my affiliate links

don't fuck with them, they'll blow your house up...

Just say " Allah Akbar " before you pull the trigger
Its the difference between waking up in a heaven full with virgins, or waking up in a hell filled with webmasters who claim they know it all, and never sold 1 bible on the side while doing this work

If you live in Mecca or something like that, it would be wise not to place inspection adress on your 2257 statement.

Just don't post any cartoons of Allah and they will probably just wank and leave you alone.

i don't know... i usually just let emails sit in my inbox if I don't like them.

was it an email? i'm assuming you were contacted that way as if it were your host they would have shut you down already.

btw... i went into hiding and grew a very long beard for the very same reason

make back ups of all your shit --- today

i would be more concerned about the cyber-jihad about to be unleashed on your ass.

Nothing to worry about.

i forgot to mention im in canada

do u think that govt wud work as far as to the point to contact a US host or even the local authorities to ge the content taken down?

Yeah, right...They're still trying to kill that fucker

You know how many Muslims there are in Canada...Your ass is toast

There has been a fatwa out on me ever since I post this on my joke blog 4 years ago





Luckey for me I now live in mobile RV, and carry vicious attack poodle on board.

"He who wishes to fight must first count the cost"
Tzun Tzu

you will learn as you get older that few things in life are fair. the actions and behavior of others are rarely going to be seen as just in your eyes... and that when you choose to needlessly antagonize others, you might find yourself in a fight, a fight which you are unprepared for and that you did not intend to fight... and in one where the cost is vastly greater than that changing a simple graphic and a fight, which you cannot win.

If you've came up on some Islamic nations radar for using their flag on your website... how difficult is it for you to simply remove it? They singled you out. Why respond with arrogance and disrespect to what they perceive to be one of the greatest insults imaginable to them?

What do you have to gain by being a disrespectful ass? Nothing
What do you have to lose by being a disrespectful ass? Who knows.

You forget in the safety of your country, while living your sterile life that you are dealing with people who have a vastly different perspective than you. They aren't interested in what you believe your rights to be. They might very realistically look at killing you as being their duty to Allah.

You can't possibly count the cost of fighting an enemy you don't know, of one who's determination and motivation you can't possibly estimate or understand and one with the resources of a nation behind it, in addition to 1.6 billion people who would all agree that you've insulted them in the worst way possible.

Grow the fuck up... change the graphics.

Well thought out. And point on.

And fill out a will!

considering all your posts are in contest threads there is a good chance you are in the same country as the arab nation's cyber crime division. all i can say is good luck.
