At this time, it is only the countries that you live and do business in that seem to count. So, where you live, where you are a citizen, where your business is based, and where you host, seem to be the main things.

However, it is possible that prosecutions could begin for further applications. Technically, almost any internet transfer of data will go through the US, or US-owned assets. That could be a bit of trouble.

More trouble is when you are part of transfers including someone in the US. When your site is accessed by someone in the US, you are participating in an event that takes place in the US. When they send you money, its even more so.

I guess the moral of the story is that, technically, the standard seems to be a matter of where you do business... but exactly what counts as "doing business" somewhere is a point that prosecutors could push.
