[OSM-legal-talk] Is CC-BY-SA really so ineffective?

What exactly would "being shut down in the US for not complying with 
COPPA" entail for an UK institution? IP packets being filtered at the 
Great Firewall?

I just checked out the BBC web site and while they say "please get a 
parent's permission before taking part in any bbc.co.uk community if 
you're under 16", there is nothing remotely referencing COPPA there. Nor 
does it say "if you're under 13 you may not look at our web site".

Then again, maybe the BBC have already been shut down in the US and 
nobody even noticed.

Bye
