The good news is that we're being purchased by a UK company at the end of this month, so the giveaway rules might become less restrictive (though no promises).
That would be very welcome! At least you should state it in the article that it's US only, so we europeans don't need to spend time clicking our way through just to get disappointed.
Yeah, it's just disingenious when smaller publications (such as Android Police) can do it. It's not hard to append [US/UK only] onto the title, and that would be quite enough.
Yes it is disingenuous of Android Police to hold illegal giveaways without disclosing that to their readers who may face liabilities if caught (as may the owners of the site).
I see you failed reading comprehension quite hard. We were talking about _labeling_, not holding global raffles. Simply putting in a [US only] label into / around the title. (See AdditionalPylons' comment that I replied to.)
