Whoah whoah whoah..... let's think about this.

You're saying an American can be held liable for infractions against Australian Laws?? I think this would set a dangerous precedent. I know that there could be good things that come from it, such as America being able to prosecute child porn sites/servers in other countries (something that we currently do not have the power to do), but I think the negative ramifications make this an unviable option.

I know this is a little different, but consider this: American women do not have a lot of the restrictions against them that some middle eastern countries do, such as making the women cover all of their skin and faces. Should American women be prosecuted based on the other countries ' laws??? I think not.

Any other thoughts on this?

So guilt is dependent on visibility? Nobody SAW me do it, so it couldn't be wrong? Maybe that's not what you meant (if not, please clarify)... but that's what I get from it.
