Another analogous situation is export controls on "technologies" (i.e. 
intangibles). Do you think anyone would get away with "Your honour I 
didn't export the plans for the ****, they remained on a server in the 
UK. Yes, they could be viewed on a client workstation in Iran, but the 
plans stayed in the UK".
