The public/private distinction is being overplayed in my opinion. I don't think that the CEO of a private company would want to risk going to jail in America anymore than the CEO of a public company.

I think Party had to pull out to avoid trading in their shares being suspended by the LSE. Obviously Stars are not in the same boat at all, does anyone really care anyway, this legislation is obviously protectionism and probably illegal.
