I would imagine the reaction would be they'd send in the SAS. Sure countermeasures can be suggested, "do what we say or we push the button", but I don't think such a stance would be good PR for a data haven company. A major government has a lot of military and blackops know how. For the game they're in I think riding below the radar belt of government reaction, and being controversial enough to get publicity, and providing advantages in jurisdictional shopping is the best way to go. Lots of scope there. Adam
