Congratulations, sir. Your ego is why Americans like myself have to put up with bullshit from other countries that I'd rather have a chance to visit in peace.
And yet those countries do nothing about enforcing those laws UNLESS the person in question steps on their soil. The US isn't doing that, they are forcing their laws on foreign soil. Why aren't you getting this?
The actual issue is your blind adherence to the law. Just because something is legal does not mean it is right, and arguing otherwise speaks poorly of you, not others, IMO.
By that logic the laws of Iran, Iraq and China are equally enforcable the world around, and yet we call such actions terrorism. Care to try, again? Because I sure as hell am NOT bound by the laws of a country I am not in, let alone a citizen of.
Again, in your opinion. Someone disagrees with you and your take on 'justice' and 'law,' and they aren't detached. The concept that you could feel this way is what blows my mind.
'If a website is being used to violate U.S. law, that website is subject to U.S. laws. '
Since when? The website doesn't reside in the US, which means it is NOT subject to US laws. Is the US the caretaker of all the internets, now? Really? Are YOU making this shit up? The domain name is managed by an international committee on US soil. Does the US have dominion over the United Nations just because they meet in the US?
Because we are not discussing what you believe is allowed by the law. We are discussing what is right and just. The law has nothing to do with justice these days.
I would argue that the domain names reside in international space, not US soil. The US retained control of the DNS servers by international agreement, and current actions are going to cause the international community to review that decision. If the current DNS scheme is to stay as it is, the US is going to lose control. Otherwise, expect changes to be made that the US cannot control.
Hrm...? Yep. And after five minutes the prosecutor dropped the case and the fine was dismissed. Sorry, what was that? Oh, right. You can't possibly prove your /innocence/, since that would be proving a lack of wrong-doing, right?
A lot of back and forth going on here. He said, she said sort of things. The problem is we do not know enough to make any sort of assumption one way or the other. Did the sheriff specifically tell the reporter that he would answer no questions, or did he say he would not answer /those/ questions, and the reporter formulated new ones? What were the questions? In what context were they delivered?
In the end, it's difficult to say if this is harassment or not, though certainly the sheriff is entirely within his rights to register a complaint against the reporter.

Well, let me see... There are about 189 million legally owned vehicles in the US... There are over 300 million people... I would say that less than half of Americans actually own a car. There's your first mistake.
Your second is to continue to try and equate physical with nonphysical goods.
