For example in Germany, he could have gotten into quite some problems if he hadn't stated that and some smartie lawyer had admonished (right expression?) him for that. It's not legal to offer legal advice without having a corresponding license in Germany (a law first introduced by the Nazis which, although nobody sees a need for it, has survived all the way till present day) and it can cost a few hundred €€€s if someone decides to earn a few bucks on you. That's how German legal system works. So I figure there are other countries with similar issues as well :-)

Wow. Are we going to see this after every post now?

After every post I write about legal issues, at least.

He has to put that there, or not post about legal issues at all.
Get over it.
