This is one of the things that bugs me.
If you're in Country A, with all your operations in Country A, and what you do is legal in Country A, why should you give a single fuck about Country B's laws?
Seems to me the appropriate answer is basically to do what The Pirate Bay did with DMCA notices- respond that your laws don't apply to us as we have nothing to do with your country, and if your citizens use our software that's between you and them. It's not our job to enforce your laws on your citizens.
