Without a Dom4, I'd *really* like to see the Dom3 code become public domain

Often yes. And even if our courts are not, they can get in a crapload of trouble. Somebody from Finland hacks some server somewhere, the people running it can make a crime report to e.g. the FBI, but they can also make one to the Central Criminal Police in Finland, since Finnish law covers actions performed on Finnish soil that target entities outside Finland. And even if it's not ten years of jail + all of your property confiscated, it'll be a bugger and a half and get you in all sorts of trouble in civilian life later. Especially if you intend to work in the IT industry, which a lot of these people do.

I'd just like to point out that I come from a place where we literally don't have copyright laws on anything apart from written works in printed books and all the laws are in early Modern French. We really do sneer at copyright law, and the courts are pretty easygoing, too.

It's this complicated deal we have with Britain. We belong to the Queen, but we don't belong to the UK (or the EU, actually). The UK can legislate for us in the exclusive case of international policy, but we retain total autonomy regarding internal affairs.

I suppose what I'm saying is "Move to Guernsey, we're awesome."

No offense but as a justification that sounds like move to Nigeria or Somalia. But Im sure there are other good reasons to move there.
