I haven't before even heard about that paymen't processor could be any party in some copyright issues, like it's not storing the files or anything.
There are several laws that apply.

Firstly there is the Berne Convention.

Then each country (in some cases states) enacts it's own IP and Copyright laws.

In the USA there is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the WIPO Copyright and Performances and Phonograms Treaties Implementation Act and this applies the WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty.
