Legal restrictions on content are almost always issues on the client side, otherwise they should not be made available at all.

Consider for example the blocking of sites in the UK, or the blocking of the PirateBay website in the Netherlands. Those are all very limited audiences where the location of the client is causing a legal reason why the content can not be displayed.
