Should the Internet have a world wide set of laws?

I was thinking about all the times I got in trouble for talking about or giving out info to people for downloading free music and other stuff while I was posting on this site. (pms, OT, blogs) I got in trouble for talking about illegal stuff, the first time this happened, I was confused as I live in Canada and downloading music is not illegal here (as long as you don't try and profit from the songs you download)

After Iremembered that this is an American site, they were obviously following a different set of laws for there own country.

So youhave the net with tons of people online fromlots of different countries all with there own set of laws.

Is it fair for someone to get banned from a site for doing something illegal on a site that ispart of a country they have never stepped foot in?

Should the world agree to aspecific set of laws foronly the internet for all countries to follow?

its a good idea but it would be impossible to implement really...muppet1010

I know it's not really possible, I'm just interested in peoples opinion on the subject.

this is impossible because it would take away from freedom of speech and the music thing could be stopped but it is only the music company's chioceElemayo

I'm not just talking about music, I mean laws in general. Music one is something easy everyone could relate to, so it was good example. :P

No.

No, it should not. And this site is not following laws, it's following it's own policy.

It's not illegal to talk about or even give information about how to get illegal materials, it is against the rules of Gamespot's company though.

no!

certain sites have their "laws" like here, we have the tos.

Sites have the right to control what's being posted on them.

Suck it up and stop talking about illegal things.

No, it should not. And this site is not following laws, it's following it's own policy.
