There seems to be more europeans on this board than any other. I seriously doubt Lensman is cheating webmasters. I have noticed in this business that if people get their check one day late or a dollar short - they are ready to have the sponsor tried for war crimes.

I don't think you can survive long in this business by cheating webmasters. I know it does not seem fair to ban countries, but look at it from his side. He would only do it if he did not think he could make a profit from it. Maybe he has had too many cheaters. Whatever the reason - it just simply is not worth it for him. I am sure there are other companies willing to take people from Denmark.

I can't even get my credit card approved half the time, because I use a PO BOX as an address. If the credit card scrubbing rejects someone from the US, I am sure that they reject people from foreign countries MUCH more often.

Personally, I would ban almost every non english speaking country from my site if I could. It simply is not worth it. Almost all the problems I have are from ips outside the US. I had numerous people download 500+ megs worth of stuff off of one site. They were all outside the US. The hotlinkers - outside the US.

No offense to the non us community, but I am in this to make money. I know there are honest people in every country.
