"A DVD is a thin disk 5 inches in diameter that can store a large amount of digital data, including a full-length motion picture."

I remember telling people about how Americian laws apply everywhere, but the same doesn't hold true here
(he was in Norway, We{americans} arrested him and brought him back here {essentially with little help from local norweigian authorities..}
