> So do you argue that businesses that do business over the internet should be subject to the laws where the business is legally based? Well, duh, businesses are subject to local laws! That is not an argument, but a fact. Don't take my word, ask your friendly lawyer. What is your alternative? That online businesses are subject to the union of all the laws of all the countries whose citizens can reach them?! That's ridiculous. Do EU businesses follow Iranian regulations?

>Do EU businesses follow Iranian regulations? Of course, if they want to do business in Iran. The same goes for every company and country. Don't you believe me? Go to your iPhone's Settings-> General -> About -> Legal -> Regulatory There you'll see which regulation Apple follows. Despite being an US based company, Apple complies with the regulations of Canada, Europe, Japan, Singapure, Russia etc. How do you even imagine that a company will be doing business in one country byt will be excepted from the regulations because it's based in some other country? That would not be possible, companies would simply move to the least regulated place with the lowest taxes. Oh and they do that wherever possible(i.e sell to EU from Ireland).
