Which is fine.
Because if the company has no physical presence in a certain country, they can basically ignore their laws, because what’s the country going to do? Block your website?
Having an employee there establishes physical presence.
- safety1st 4y agoRight, but their stated reason for instituting the policy in the first place was that they couldn't ignore Serbian laws if their websites were available to be viewed in Serbia.
- dahdum 4y agoI'd consider the Serbian employee at risk if I wasn't following any applicable Serbian laws. Their explanation seems to be that even the legal review of these countries would cost far more than any revenue they are making, and their lawyers are advising these countries need that review.
- sgjohnson 4y ago> they couldn't ignore Serbian laws if their websites were available to be viewed in Serbia. With no presence in Serbia, they absolutely can. Serbia has got virtually no recourse in such a situation. What are they going to do? Sue then in Serbia? They’ll never show up. Then trying to enforce the jugdement overseas will be a monumental (and also completely pointless) exercise. Try suing someone in, say, the United States for violating Serbian law. Your case will get dismissed because the said US court would have no jurisdiction over the matter even if the company was based in the US.
- safety1st 4y agoAbsolutely, I agree with you. The only party who disagrees is Fanbyte in their official statements about why they pulled out.
