Your missing the point. The USA has to first issue a warrant for your arrest before any such action would even be discussed with a foreign government. They are not going to extradite you just so the USA can search your records. That's not going to happen and every country on earth would laugh at that request.

Just because you host, bill and live abroad does not mean your in trouble. You would first have to deny the USA access to your records. Then they would have to issue a warrant. Then they would have to negotiate with the government that controls the country you are in, bill in and host in... MAYBE they will assist the USA on such a bull shit matter. Maybe not.

There are plenty of countries that will not extradite people for rape and murder, they would laugh hysterically at the US request to do so over documents that may not even be illegal.

The bottom line is this. The porn industry will evolve over this and the smart hosting, billing and domain registrars who are not already overseas, will set up there to avoid this bullshit.

It's time for another step in porn evolution... Bring it on.
