I’m hoping that this all boils down to people being paranoid because common sense tells me that there is no way that an affiliate can be at risk at this point in time.
But, then again, the US Authorities and Gov. don’t always act in a manner that is synonymous with common sense.
This whole situation is beyond belief.
I’m sure that thousands of people in other web industries unknowingly break some law in some country. If I recall, aren’t there some radical middle eastern countries where using certain profanity is deemed illegal? If this is the case would’nt it be crazy for a person with profanity on their website to be at risk of arrest in that country where it is deemed illegal?
It is unreasonable for a person doing business on the web to be knowledgable and in compliance of all laws for all countries, territories, states, provinces etc.
Where does this trend end? In the future will Pot Houses in Amsterdam be considered fugitives because an American tourist got high while on vacation?
I’m frustrated, confused and baffled by these trends.
For now I will wait and see what happens over the next few days before making a decision to go to Vegas.
Maybe these hypothetical scenarios are B.S. and have no bearing here, but I wanted to rant a bit….
