I don't see why a volunteer who lives in, say, Germany has to give a single shit about the law in California or Brazil. It's up to those regions to block MidnightBSD if they're that fucking stupid.

With all these internationally spanning laws lately maybe it's time we also had some kind of framework for dispute resolution - mostly something like nations staying behind their citizens in stuff like this, telling the other coubtry tp pound sand / do it themselves.
