With that said, when will people realize that companies are bound by the governing laws of the country that they are working in, whether they feel it suits their belief or not.

Each country has their own laws, whether it be fair or not, and thus people who break the law, or do not comply with the governing body can and often are punished.

In this case, as long as Yahoo! has a business presence within China, they are required to comply with the coverning party. And I am sure that the two imprisoned, understood the risks of what they were doing, but felt that it was worth the risks to be found out.

Yahoo! or any corperation should not be held resonsible for their overseas companies did, in compliance with the the local governments. If so, it would be like trying to sue an non-US Walmart for the death of a child who was shot by a gun leagly sold in a US Walmart. (I am not sure if Walmart still sells guns, but I am sure you can understand the analagy).

Again, while I feel that these arrests were unjust, and do not confine with what I believe to be “fair”, I still feel that Yahoo! should not be punished for following the law in the respective country.

Just my two cents..
