Remote workers could result in you haveing assets within the
juristiction of legal systems less friendly than the US.
The greatest majority of our "assets" are our volunteers who create the
free information we distribute. These are already distributed worldwide
and should further distribute naturally as the use of the internet does.
Distributed assets will help keep the U.S. power brokers remain
"friendly". Grabbing servers to interrupt information flows percieved
as irritating or dangerous to themselves, their agenda, or their sworn
duties is a useless action if some of the servers are outside
geographical boundaries where specific power can be applied. In an
efffectively distributed infrastructure any such misuse of specific
power is merely free publicity unless local staff are injured.
