Ralwapindi was used cause it's the only place that came to my mind at 
the moment, Pakistan, India it was an example.

Yes it does matter to me where someone is located when I am speaking to 
them. It matters for the sake of accountability. YOU may not see nothing 
wrong with someone having your information at their fingertips, but I 
want to know who, what, where, when and why someone is doing ANYTHING 
with my information. Or haven't you been following news:

I don't care if its India, China, Pakistan, the North or South Pole, 
Dell in this example should follow US laws especially since they're 
located here. It can't be a single sided law it has to apply to all 
bottom line.

I don't care about Germany there fellow, this post was regarding US LAWS 
and I happened to mention a US COMPANY not a Germany one. Ich scheiß' 
d'rauf! (No really)
