Regarding his websites, the two domains I just looked up are registered to addresses in Brazil, but indeed hosted in the US. In the criminal complaint there's no mention of the hosting location though. My understanding is he's charged for the fact that his sites can be accessed from US soil.

While the main offense is sending videos via US mail, which is obviously illegal, I think the charges over his websites are the more alerting part.
