Dilbert asked:


How can a state legally censor the internet? If the money changes hands in a foreign country, and the player travels to the foreign country to play, travelling via the internet, why would it even be an issue for Washington state? No money is changing hands in Washington state, and the game is in a foreign country. So how would Washington state even have any jurisdiction over it?
