And if one of our computer experts went to a conference in Russia, where he was accused of breaking Russian law while in the United States, we'd be pretty upset, too. Of course, we (the US) just did that. Some guy's employer (based in Russia) developed a program that we deemed illegal. So we held one of the programmers hostage. Niiiiice. We don't have to play by any rules, let alone our own. But...I can understand if somebody violates our law on our turf, he should be held just as accountable for his actions as anybody else violating that same law.
