I believe you. I know a few other cases like that and I really wonder how we got here. I've been CEO of a 25 people company with presence in both Canada and Europe, I would never ever chart a course like that but maybe I'm just too risk averse.
In the beginning of Camarades.com/WW.com we had a lot of interaction with LE because of all the stuff our users got up to online and we tried very hard to comply with the various laws. It did not always work perfect but it worked well enough that we earned the respect of the various LE contacts that we had. I can only imagine how it would have ended if we had thumbed our nose at them. Going global means you need to change your attitude.
