If the EU passes the EUCD and other laws we have the same problems in the EU. Althought the directive proposal for software patents might be stopped, the EU has the same problems. And with the proposed Hague Treaty (See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/hague.html) you can be sued for everything in every country. The problem you are talking about are proposed almost everywhere on this plant. Bit you are talking about "if ... does ...", it's not yet the case. I don't see why we have to handle according that. When the real harm is there, we have enough time to act. > There > is nothing here that people haven't had the oportunity to be worried about > already. So there is *no* problem with hosting this in the US. Having a backup of everything available at some other place would be enough IMHO.
