    Website jurisdiction

    Thanks for your reply. I reckon this could be a rare situation but I'm just curious about the legal issues. I have some comments: 1. Is there still libel tourism in the UK? I thought there was an Act that somehow abolished it during this year. 2. Is it necessary to go to The Cayman Islands...

    phone number lookup

    Hello, Whenever we get a missed call or just get called by a number we do not recognize many of us rely on Google to find information about it. As some of you know, there are some pages who provide user comments about phone numbers, whether it was a telemarketing call, just nuisance, etc...
