@sumfuka: I'm sorry to say you can be sued in any country for a debt (such as a civil court judgement) incurred in any other country.

From July 2003 to July 2004, there were no updates to WinMX - nothing to improve the network architecture, the dreaded queues or any other attributes. Then in July 2004 after nearly a year of frustration, FrontCode released what many perceived as a mere "filler" version. Version 3.53 did little more than feature “a major upgrade of the chat component and other minor improvements."
That would be the last anyone would hear from WinMX ever again.

So would you happen to know what makes Vanuatu different (from, say, Canada) legally?

Vanuatu Law
"An international or offshore company may be established without operating in Vanuatu. This company may bank here or elsewhere in the world and may operate overseas by holding shares in any offshore company and even owning real estate. No physical presence required and the company may be formed in few hours"
I will be doing more research on this small islands legal system.......
