I don't agree that this should be the case, but I think that's the way the US law reads currently.

(Isn't it ironic that we should be having this somewhat role-reversed conversation?)
Oh well - it just seems a reasonable thing to do, but I'm certainly not a lawyer and nobody said that the law had to make sense .
