I really don't want to contribute to this thread but I felt compelled to
point out that as long as you reside in the Republic of California, which
is a member state of the United States, then you are unfortunately subject
to the laws of that nation. The lawyers of the people who may be suing
you will insist that they don't recognize the Republic of Terra (much
less know where it exists) and will make it very difficult for you to
argue otherwise.
In other words, get real for once.
