If American surfers can not reach your pages.. would you still be breaking the law?

Also.. A while back a guy was busted for obsenity in the UK.. He tried saying that his content was hosted in America and so he was exempt..

The UK Judge ruled that because he "uploaded" the content from the UK to the american server.. then allowed UK citizens to view it he had "Published" the content in the UK.

The guy would have got off if he uploaded the content from outside of the UK as it would have been published outside of the UK and not covered by the obsene publications act.
