Were you not paying attention the other day when the New Zealand govt passed US style copyright laws using "emergency powers"? Just because you're in NZ, AU, Can, Ireland or $Taxhaven, doesn't mean you're 'safe' from US interference. The tail does not wag the dog. And it's a bloody big dog. Arguably the only place safe from gross US interference is the EU, but mainly because as the world's largest government-by-committee they cannot find their arse with both hands and a map. And even then the reality is somewhat different, it isn't hard to play one side off against the other in their internal wrangles. ----- I would guess most of those places have been leaned on by the US to also ban online gaming.
