In the case of lobste.rs I think that there is no issue whatsoever and it is an overreaction.

  That was my assumption too, I guess what I got out of that thread was that they would have no idea of whether they were going to be in violation or not or what the consequences would be.

    They are a small forum in the USA, moderated, by invitation only, and about an innocuous technical subject matter so... > they would have no idea of whether they were going to be in violation does not matter, and > or not or what the consequences would be. none.

      At a minimum, aren't the consequences that the owners will never be able to visit the UK again without getting jailed for the rest of their lives?

        Why would they risk jail in the UK? They aren't doing anything wrong and the UK authorities would even know or care about that forum... To suggest a risk of arrest (not even jail...) is more than over the top, it is utterly bizarre.
