A large country has. China's great firewall blocks much of wikipedia. We *could* amend it so that its acceptable to the Chinese government. We *could* amend it so that its acceptable to the French government.
Personally, I'm not in favour of that.
This is confusing two issues. Censorship and copyright. I agree that we shouldn't adhere to Chinese censorship laws. But staying legal in an open democracy such as France is something else.
