So I think that indian reservation sovernignty has grown in recent years, and would be very intresting course to pursue.
The problem with the CDA in this regard is that it doesn't seem to respect other jurisdictions. It's very irritating for us in other countries to know that if we put 'indecent' material on our world readable sites, then we commit a crime in the US punishable with 2 years detention, even if chances of prosecution, extradition or Noriega-style international arrest are minimal - so far; we all know that there is now only one de-facto superpower, and that power could do anything it really wishes to do. But USA still wants to look good and possibly law-abiding on the global market of morality, so I think the international legal system ought to be investigated, by lawyers knowledgeable in the field, for possible processing of the CDA in the International Court in the Hague (by a non-US person or organization).
