I'm UK based, processing credit semi-regularly every few months. Signed a W-8 long before they had a UK office. First off, for those of us who don't usually frequent these forums but are browsing trying to make sense of this whole Tilia thing. What's all this about recent LL data/privacy concerns? (Maybe just a link so as not to derail the topic, please?) Now, as I understand it - the only point where I deal with actual, real life, touchable USD, is when it gets withdrawn from my SL account (currently) or Tilia UK account (from August) in to my PayPal or wherever? Because L$ are virtual currency and not owned by me per-se. The USD balance in Tilia is not owned by me either. So it is LL who are the ones transferring money from the US to the UK - the funds are already within a UK company by the time I get involved. Why am I still being bound by US laws at all seeing as I am not interacting with a US company at any point in this process?
