If North Korea (as a government) wants something from Sourceforge's site, will blocking access to the site really prevent them from doing so for more than a second?
Meanwhile, if a North Korean wants something from Sourceforge's site, why are you blocking it? Similar to above, they can still get it, but all you're doing is punishing the civilians, most of whom have little to nothing to do with the government. How is this helpful?
Now, which of those two is the US Government at war with?
They were implying the law is ridiculous. Complying is the cost of existence in a nation.
Even if are any "civilian" internet users in North Korea (unlikely since using the internet requires government approval), I think it's safe to say that being stymied by US export restrictions on Sourceforge is the least of their problems...
