Who is 'they', Patrick ? Suppose Spain introduces that law. Fine, but
that doesn't mean that other countries have to (or will ever) abide by
that. Certainly in the U.S. you won't find that many who would support
even the idea.

This thread was started 'cause the Spanish (?) government wanted to do 
blocking.  So it would stop all the people in Spain.  And I seriously doubt 
they care what the US government or its citizens do outside of Spain.

This is not correct. Such laws tend to cover whatever is shown to the
Spanish citizens, no matter by whom. One can be not really concerned about
it if one has good lawers. Otherwise one would end up in the position Google
and Yahoo ended up in Germany.
