I'd argue that the laws that must be obeyed form an odd superset of the laws of the nation from where the organization is operating and the laws where the users are located. Where those laws intersect nicely, the mode of operation is clearly defined, where they do not intersect, the mode of operation becomes very tricky. (As we've seen with privacy, cookie laws, etc.)

Many students cannot explain simple concepts and base level assignments take significantly longer.

Many of these want to know your revenue and then make a sales proposal based on your total revenue. This is frustrating for companies where software is a tiny proportion of the products/services. Example: recently tried to license software that wanted 1% of our sales when software makes up 0.003% of our sales by volume. I now don't even try to negotiate with these types of folks.
