Very interesting. Scarey for internetland yes, but isn't it scarier to forbid an independent nation the right to make it's own laws? To decide what it regards as a crime or not?
The thing about the web is it CROSSES boundaries, not negates them. It's a sobering reminder that it's still a part of the real world, not a world unto itself.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse. I suppose it's now up to website owners to check the laws of a nation they are visiting to see if they are breaking any of their said laws.
We have to do that if we want to drive, (left or right side? Is turning on red ok?) or regarding soft drugs (harsher penalties in the USA than say, Amsterdam) or imports (no animals or fruit into Australia, no chewing gum into Singapore)
Why not with information distribution? A webowner is exporting information into that country aren't they?
