thestandard.com -  Argentina's Department of Justice recently sent a notice out to all ISPs operating in the country -- including several American firms -- ordering that they cut off domestic traffic to bwin.com.ar, a gambling site which has been found guilty of operating without a license. No big deal. Just have the ISPs block the site's IP address, right?

Wrong. In this case, the request proved to be difficult for one of the American ISPs. It's not just the fact that bwin.com.ar may change its IP address to evade the block. Another issue, says a source at the ISP, is its network architecture also encompasses a neighboring country in South America. Some users outside of Argentina would be impacted, even though they are outside of the jurisdiction of Argentina's legal system.
