From /. - and perhaps of interest to IPers:

Victor G. Sommers writes "Daniel Soong, who lost his programming job
to Indian offshore companies, is willing to relocate to India. 'It
would be really interesting to work in Bangalore,' he says. 'But I was
told, "Daniel, it is against the law for you to work here. You can
come here on vacation, but you can't work here."' Indian officials
have told him they don't hire Americans." An article in ComputerWorld
talks about the possibility of getting more than you bargained for in
outsourced code.
