LOL you are the one who is being difficult to understand.
Let's say you are promoting for sponsor A who lives in BumFuck, Nevada, America.
You are using their content to promote them, but you are living in BumFuck, Argentina.
Someone sees your for example gallery that you built using SponsorA's content to promote his site.
You did not link to the 2257 information as stated in their terms of service.
A surfer sees the model and thinks..."Hmm..she looks awfully young." and reports it to their District Attorney in BumFuck, Arkansas.
The District Attorney in BumFuck, Arkansa contacts the District Attorney in BumFuck, Nevada who then sends out investigators to check out Sponsor A's legal documents.
Now because the owner of SponsorA has to go through the hassle of the Law visiting his offices he no longer wants to deal with the webmaster in BumFuck, Argentina who thinks they do not have to comply with 2257 laws because they are not US citizens.
So the owner of Sponsor A who is compelled by law to follow those laws, and does not with to spend any jail time just becaues a webmaster in BumFuck, Argentina thinks he/she deserves his/her $30pps will now just close said webmasters account.
Figure it out yet.
Not saying this is how it will happen, not saying this WILL happen...but just because you are outside the US don't think this does not affect you in anyway shape or form.
When it affects your business to business peers, it does affect you.
