Right on Hartley. That was only the first of several arguments I have consistently mader regarding legality.


The court said foreign laws can't apply to US based sites. If they are to be consistent don't they have to concede that US laws don't apply to foreign sites?

If not it is pure hypocrisy.

Yahoo, a US based site that offers it's services around the world. These services include information as well as e-commerce where money is exchanged. The French claim that Yahoo is in violation of French law.

An American court says France has no say over what happens on US sites.

How is this different from me. Substitute WSEX for Yahoo, Antigua for US, and US for France.

I will cut and paste and demonstrate.

WSEX, a ANTIGUAN based site that offers it's services around the world. These services include information as well as e-commerce where money is exchanged. The US claim that WSEX is in violation of US law.

An American court says US has no say over what happens on ANTIGUAN sites.

Am I going crazy???? This is totally analogous!!!!

How is this different? How hypocritical are they going to be and get away with it???


And yes, Title 18 Section 1084 is the wire act.
