Interesting matter here:
Say company "TropicalIsland XXX/EuroXXX" (which *really* is operated by Americans) has a couple of paysites...
Say they use Verotel/other non-U.S. processor for billing... or an own non-U.S. merchant account etc.
Now... In this setup, NO ONE should be subject to any U.S. law or regulations... right?
"Wrong! TropicalIsland XXX are dealing with U.S. customers!"
No they're not, Verotel/else are though... which aren't subject to U.S. law.
In this scenario, the only thing I could think of happening (though HIGHLY unlikely) is:
A U.S. blocking/filtering of TropicalIsland XXX's sites. I really doubt that would happen since it would be nothing but a violation of peoples free will to look for porn.
Who else could be blocked and thereby cause trouble for TropicalIsland XXX?
Verotel, because they deal with U.S. customers? Nope, they're not in any way any kind of producer of sexually explicit content, 2257 shouldn't apply to them.
There.. Maybe this is a blueprint for a modus operandi..?
Talk it over with a lawyers/agencies specializing in offshore and "high-risk" first
though as I'm not sure about how this would hold up.
