166A Supplementary provision relating to sale and disposal of tickets on internet
(1) Nothing in section 166 makes it an offence for a service provider established outside of the United Kingdom to do anything in the course of providing information society services.
(2) If—
(a) a service provider established in the United Kingdom does anything in an EEA State other than the United Kingdom in the course of providing information society services, and
(b) the action, if done in England and Wales, would constitute an offence falling within section 166(1),
the service provider shall be guilty in England and Wales of an offence under that section.
(3) A service provider is not capable of being guilty of an offence under section 166 in respect of anything done in the course of providing so much of an information society service as consists in—
(a) the transmission in a communication network of information falling within subsection (4), or
(b) the storage of information provided by a recipient of the service,
except where subsection (5) applies.
(4) Information falls within this subsection if—
(a) it is provided by a recipient of the service; and
(b) it is the subject of automatic, intermediate and temporary storage which is solely for the purpose of making the onward transmission of the information to other recipients of the service at their request more efficient.
(5) This subsection applies at any time in relation to information if—
(a) the service provider knew when that information was provided that it contained material contravening section 166; or
(b) that information is stored at that time (whether as mentioned in subsection (3)(b) or (4)) in consequence of the service provider's failure expeditiously to remove the information, or to disable access to it, upon obtaining actual knowledge that the information contained material contravening section 166.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
