 From Canada: I found it to be very accessible. It's brief, salient and
easy to read. It's nice to have such a primer. Even though I'm in Canada,
it keeps me up to date.

It's a good idea to keep up to date on the laws and regulations concerning
the net and development from other countries. Not only does it impress the
heck out of clients, but if you choose to voluntarily adopt or conform to
them, you're in good shape should your country adopt similar measures.
Furthermore, it's a simple act of good-will towards them-over-there that
shares this here little chunk o' space known as "Earth".
