There is a legal (and practical!) difference between simply making something available that people from different countries might might access and purposefully targeting a particular country. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlovich_v._Superior_Court. This is in the context of personal jurisdiction between sovereign U.S. states, but the principle in the international context is the same.

Yes. They had colos on the east and west coasts, and ran AdSense ads.
