As I assumed this is the response I will get I will reffer you to Napster and the lawsuites revolving around copyright enfringment currently underway. You are correct by stating that the laws of the united states do not govern the rest of the world, but the united states is not the only country with such laws. As well, the users of this client software in the united states fall under the shroud of the United States Code. That being said, allowing such to take place can be considered aiding and abeding. We can go round and round about this, all I asked for were the rules governing the use of this chat client. I will also point out, that this chat client, if the base of operations is within the United States, fall directly under the jurisdiction of the United States Code as well. As I said, work with me or against me, it doesnt matter. I can find out the information I need through other channels and take appropriate actions.
