Wow, this can really limit the freedom of people who are just starting up their internet marketing career. It must have been tough for everyone out there in UK.

Full details are here UK Internet Marketing Castrated | SI (3429 of 2006) – Andy Beard At the same time, I am feeling at least slightly annoyed that a lot of weight is placed on UK businesses having to comply with US regulations especially the FTC if we want to do business with US customers, yet no emphasis is currently placed on the reverse, other than maybe accessibility.
