It makes me angry, but the law here in the US is that "ignorance is not a defense." Oh... you didn't know our several million laws when you broke one? Too bad, they say. Lawyers counter that if the law was simpler, they wouldn't have jobs.
- cperciva 13y agoYes, but US labor laws don't apply to someone living in Germany anyway.
- tokenizerrr 13y agoOk. Now if only the kid actually was over there in the US.
- criley 13y agoIt's not that simple. When you access an American network, your usage is governed my American laws -- period. You make it sound like if you hacked into Paypal from Germany you'd be completely immune to American law on the matter because you're not in the US. That's simply not true.
