GE console stereo from 1968 that's in their basement?

The "do not call" list works only if the calls originate from the US.
Thanks to outsourcing, some telemarketer calls are now coming into the US
from overseas.

In a related note, may collection agencies are now located in Canada so they
don't have to comply with US laws about calling people at work, calling your
boss/family/friends.

But the laws follow the business, not the caller. Indiana took a
company based/doing business from Utah to court and won even though the
company doing the calling was out the US. Fined the company sponsoring
the phone calls.
