RE: Everyone on FD is now under arrest

["Blanchard, Michael (InfoSec)" <Blanchard_Michael () emc com>]

 Hmmm... Interesting.... If FD (or any other list)is hosted in the States, are the users of said list bound by those 
laws?

  I figure if online gambling sites can legally be hosted out of the states and be immune to the US laws, wouldn't the 
inverse be true?

 Don't flame me, I'm actually wondering about this... Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks for the reminder Oliver, but it was meant more of a joke...since
this is the Fun with Security list..lol I fully understand that our
weird US laws do not always apply outside our borders. =) 

But it does provide another option to moderation of FD..lol
