No you don't. I'm in Germany but my host is Webair in the US.
The problem is that US consumers will not be able to pay for membership to a site that is not compliant to US law. VISA, who is just looking for an excuse, will demand that someone, even CCBILL and the rest, control the sites on a regular basis.
This is the very reason why some of those dubious 18 year old teen sites have lost the credit card processing.
I mean, 16 is legal for hardcore in Denmark... but you don't see those sites marketed in the US. And there aren't that many since the big market is the US. So overseas sites comply with 2257 simply to process those credit cards from US citizens.
