Slam, I see your point.
But neither you nor Mike told me how can US Government link YOU to the EU company? How is that possible? You don't understand one thing, you DON'T need to compy with 2257, even if you are in US, because YOU are not selling anything. You only get a bunch of dough from an EU based company, you pay income tax etc. But you, personally, are not selling anything. So saying something like "I reside in US, I need to comply anyway" is like "I breath the air in the US, so I need to comply with 2257 law, and breath accordingly".
