So Russians feel sympathetic and supporting lending a help to a mere human who just tried to help his country and now his country hunts him down like a wild animal.
But that is somehow bad, eh? o_O
P.S. Hey, Alex, why stop at Osama?! You forgot to mention Hitler! That would be more dramatic, and equally cheap brainwashing tactic.
It may all look like bits to you, but here's something to think about: I have recently bought an electronic product from a company in a different country. The payment processor though added Canadian HST tax on top of the purchase. Processor did two things: it figured out I'm in Canada so the HST tax may apply, and it knew that the product was actually sold via a reseller, which also registered in Canada, which made HST mandatory.
You see? The online purchases are not as unregulated as they may seem. There are laws about them, and the online companies do follow those laws.
Trying to sell banned service to US customer is not much easier than trying to sell banned food. One may try but the interested troll only need to send a cease-and-desist to yet another payment processor one uses to sell to US, and the service is on square one, again.
So we has just established that not only hardware companies are at risk. Good.
Now, step two: US trolls will not sue a company doing business outside of US; too much trouble. But any company doing business in US is a subject to local laws, and most SaaS companies want to work on US market simply because it is the biggest one.
"Doing business in US" means, among other things, having US customers and using US payment processors.
> Anybody who wants to sue you must post a $25k USD bond to the Nevis government before even proceeding.
Why would they do that? o_O
They will file at their local US court. You're free to sell to Nevis all that you want -- but do not come with your product into US until the US litigation is won.
"... seeking ... an injunction against AppDynamics prohibiting the infringement of CA Technologies patents"
In case CA wins, the court will prohibit AppDynamics to sell any product that violate CA's patents.
Yes, one may host the company in Canada. How to sell to US customers though? VISA, MC and AMEX all have US presence and will comply with the court order (CA's lawyers will undoubtfully provide a copy). Paypal and other various Stripes are just facades to the very same VISA et all.
Without ability to charge for the product, where the business is going to be?
Court order will prohibit the sales. The decision will be delivered to whatever representatives the company has on US soil, as well as to customs, payment processors and whatnot.
I dunno how it is in US, but in other places all kinds of shady businesses are protected by organized crime. Try to harass their businesses and jokes may end pretty quick.
LOL OMFG!
MILE WIDE !!! MINEFIELDS !!!
May be the confusion is with USA-Mexico border? o_O
