Oh??? Where in Europe? Generally speaking, the concepts which comprise Freedom of Speech, Expression and Press are far more limited by law throughout Europe than in the US. Regardless, NONE OF THAT LAW pertains to speech within the confines of a private forum such as Aural Moon.

Yes, anyone can register. There is, however, a terms of service agreement which all agree to when signing up for an account here. One must agree to the terms to become a member here; therefore, is it not a contract of adhesion, nor it is unconscionable. Under common law, this is a valid contract for it satisfies all of the legal elements: Agreement, Offer, Acceptance and Consideration. With limitation, one could contract their rights away!

It seems that ignorance is international too. Ignorance of the law, that is. We've been around and around on this subject before and it's tiring.
