Totally right. Remember that capital doesn't have a nation. Companies registered in the US have to comply with US laws.

But a legal entity in Pakistan have to obide by those rules. And if it's profitable - they will.

Replace Pakistan with any other country name, the argument doesn't change. It's the law in that jurisdiction.

You can't really mix and match the legislation you like and don't like.

No idea if the particular law is just, but that's not the question. The question is - is it profitable to abide by it?

That quote was from a different era where the internet was seen as a bringer of free information and hope, unfortunately.
