Wouldn't that make a US web hosting company simply providing a server for someone exempt from being charged with anything?
All that means is THEY can't get busted if someone that they are hosting for is violating 2257. Doesn't mean the DOJ can't order them to shut you down.

As someone has said if you host in the US you have to abide by US laws. If you don't like US laws host in Europe.
