It is *always* perception that is stronger than reality.
The issue looks so simple to those who look at the law and say "But I can
send this, *legally*" and fail to see that legality does not match the needs
of the recipient.
For example I *need* to receive things I define as relevant to me and *need*
not to receive those that are not. I will thus accept with grumbled grace
UCE that is relevant, but get upset with that which is not. And I am no
different from others, here.
Cross border is, to me, no different from any other permission based
concept. With permission, no issue. Without permission, conflict.
The whole thing might be compared to a speed limit in the car. It may be
legal to drive past a school at 30mph, and even reasoanble, law
notwithstanding, to drive past at 40mph or more in the wee small hours. It
is unreasonable to drive past even at the legal limit at school arrival or
chucking out times.
You know I wrote that and then wondered how realistic that analogy was!

This can also be true of pan European campaigns. We can demonstrate to
clients that their cross border campaigns are legal (extraterritoriality,
principles of establishment, etc. etc.) but that recipient still thinks you
are wrong.
Arguably then what matters most is the perception of your 'public' not what
the legislators set down in statutes.
