Yeah, actually, if you're going to be a third party selling user generated content directly (and paying those users) over the internet, what are your responsibilities as the distributor? Can you really just say "Ask your accountant, not our problem..."? Seems like that's the best one can do as a startup though. Incorporate elsewhere?

- dave_sullivan 11y ago>> How and if non-compliance will be prosecuted is a more complicated matter. Indeed. As far as I can tell, it's only been tested in a limited sense when there are relatively clear violations, such as drug markets, blatant piracy, or gambling. But extend that a bit further, and you get into the sort of murky territory where you're forced to blacklist entire countries because they have crazy people running them.
