For now I cannot imagine the government doing anything spectacular to
please the US, but of course: who knows. If anybody has further
thoughts on that situation, please voice them. :)
No one could imagine the New Zealand government violating their own laws
to please the US government and bring down MegaUpload either.
I doubt if this is (yet) a "burning issue", but it could well become one
very quickly.
As I pointed out though it is not JUST the US Government that we need to
worry about! :-(
Another writer commented that we need separate websites for the code and
the verification keys. It seems to me they should be managed by
different organization is different countries as well!
Sadly if you rule out EU countries this gets to be a very short list:
Canada comes to mind since they have strong privacy laws and have
resisted US "bullying" for their entire existence as a nation. See:

Japan is a possibility
Other ideas?
