If you are outside of UK's jurisdiction (i.e. EU), why would you even care if somebody from UK is paying by a debit card? What is UK going to do? Send bobbies on you?
- exasperaited 1y agoEU/Asia-Pacific/US firms obey UK jurisdiction if they sell to a significant number of UK customers, believe it or not. Collecting and remitting UK VAT is normal, for example, so is recognising UK consumer rights, distance selling regulations etc. Obeying the laws of the jurisdictions where your customers are is actually pretty central to successful international trade. Surprised to find anyone on this site who thinks otherwise.
- general1726 1y agoYeah, no. Otherwise DMCA from USA would be enforceable in EU and Asia, which they are not. And if you believe they are, tell me when USA last time successfully DMCAed Chinese company in China. Alcohol in Nordic countries is extremely taxed, so Nordic youth often times goes to central Europe for drinking parties. Should pub owners in central Europe be arrested by Nordic police for selling improperly taxed alcohol? Good luck with that. Or you have draconic UK anti-hate speech laws. How are you going to enforce them in i.e. France?
