Actually it's been decided in many court cases, not just in the US, that the website is considered to exist where it is downloaded. In other words, if an American visits youjr site then your site can be deemed to be on US soil in a court of law, regardless where you or the server are located. There have been many precedents on this. I'm not making it up.
