Courts have, in other circumstances (related to trademarks, sales or use
tax, etc), ruled the other way. To apply those rulings regarding an
established "virtual" presence in a jurisdiction one step further to
international web content is less of a legal leap in logic than most other
"solutions" to a problem.

Again, the point is not to say you *will suffer dire consequences*, but
that to rely on a "that can't apply to me" defense when considering matters
pertaining to the Web, is premature and perhaps ill-advised.
