In the strict sense of the law yes. If you do biz in a country, in most cases you would be required to follow their laws. I just depends how each country considers the Internet in regards to doing biz.

Now it's unlikely, you would ever become a target by another country, unless you were scamming or producing illegal content. So in most cases it's a mute point. However I don't think I'd travel to China and tell them I sell porn online, same with Germany or the UK.

For the average person out side the US, it likely won't be an issue. However I'm inside the US and a US citizen so it is an issue for me.

At this point, the only way I can see operating a legal free site, would be if I onlt deal with programs that provide me with 2257 info, or run my own paysites and just promote them.
