Regarding Ebay I can add my 2 cents here. I live in Austria, south of Germany. Our mother tongue is also German. There is an Austrian Ebay and I wanted to sell an old computer game (Star Wars - Dark Forces). Ebay stopped that, because this item is only allowed to be sold to people over 16 years according to German law, and they decided not to deal with such items, because they cannot check the age of the buyer. I asked them, why this should concern me, because there is not such a law in Austria and I wanted to sell it to someone in Austria. They behaved very stupid and offered me to close my account. I think it is a principle problem, that there is no internet law, but only national laws, depending where the main company resides. As US companies rule a lot of the business (credit cards, PayPal, Ebay,...) I wonder, if there will ever be an special internet closed for US citizens. US companies and law cannot dictate the internet forever.
