These are just my guesses, but since the headquarters are in the States, the people that make the decisions will probably go by their law. If they wanted to take it down, I would think they could. If they wanted to arrest you, though, they probably couldn’t.

[www.doteasy.com](http://www.doteasy.com) is a nice, cheap hosting company located in Surrey BC…if you need to go Canadian.😉
