    Why Do Non-US Based Websites have US 2257 Notices?

    I don't get why they have to comply with a US law? Or does US law somehow trump other nation's laws? Anyone know?

      Usually it's a condition of the billing company.

                  So US corporations are forcing foreign businesses to comply with US law, even though they're 100% based abroad? Really? And people are worried about elected officials like Donald Trump running wild?

                      As long as they use Visa-net for billing they need to post a 2257 notice -- as a formality.

                      ** You have to comply with a biller's conditions or they don't do business with you. Access to credit card processing is not a human right.

                      US law has no jurisdiction outside of the USA but I suppose they could try and strong-arm VISA/MC like they did with backpage.

                      Works like this: The US-DOJ needs a court order in that foreign jurisdiction. There has to be a corresponding law (or some treaty) in the foreign jurisdiction to be granted a court order.

                              Also the US indirectly controls most TLDs (including .com) through verisign (who is a US corp) so if you don't follow US law your domain could be seized. See: thepiratebay
