I understand the "censorship/free speech" deal. But I can't really defend these guys, they were blatantly breaking the law. Like, there wasn't a gray area - they just jumped right over the line.
To make this a "true argument" we'd need the US to take down a domain that interferes with free speech.
Because, that's really what's happening here. Bodog is a non-American company, operating outside of America, with assets that aren't in America. Please elucidate on how exactly you think they are subject to American law before you give a smug "well, don't break the law then" response.
In Bodog case one could only wonder how much traffic they were getting from US. At some point, perhaps if they knew whats coming, they could ban US traffic or put notices all around their web that "there may be some laws in your country banning you from purchasing out products" etc.
