They don't have to go anywhere. If the DOJ goes to a website hosted in the US by a non-US citizen and that site doesn't even have a 2257 page on it then they are in non-compliance. The DOJ can in fact order that the site be shut down.

If you are a non-US citizen the laws don't apply to you, even if you host in the US. You still have a risk in the host shutting you down though, but that's their decision, not the DOJ's.
So do you want to risk having your site shut down and losing everything and having to start over from scratch? Seems if you are a non-US webmaster and you wish not to comply you'd better be looking for non-US hosting solutions NOW.
