^^ to answer your concern regarding geographical i.p. blocking: im a developer my self.. and your statement above that is: "THESE ARE THE ONLY SITE BLOCKING PHIL IP's" is absolutely NOT true! i have sites geographically blocked too.. its simply a sales approach. since the sites i mentioned that are i.p. geogrphically BLOCKED are either fashion accesory or furniture manufacturers i also stand firm with @chronnus contention that simply the sites mentioned on this thread are for the purpose of PROTECTING their business against competitors and supplier AND most of all local furniture or fashion accesory COPY CATS.
and that last one i mentioned should give you a firm understanding why they block targeted geo i.p's.
since oyu didnt answered my prior inquiry directly, dont blame me to have a feeling that you are a competitor to these sites. now i FULLY undertand why my local furniture and fashion accesory manufacturing clients gives an utmost concern in the geo targeted i.p. blocking.
thus, your contention that they are selling illegals or illegal, hmmmnnn.. thats what a i call a SOUR contention. if and IF you can prove in before any philippine courts that these sites namely
www.conchology.be or
www.topseashells.com are indeed selling illegal matters then perhaps that the BEST time to pour and post your CONTENTIONS back this forums.
please be aware and check your black's legal dictionary of the term: "SLANDER". you'll never know when slander hits you or oyu have hitted someone without knowing its definition.
oh,,.. btw.. im not here to edify you and i hold no rights to do it either. just my thoughts...
