Why Do Non-US Based Websites have US 2257 Notices?
I don't get why they have to comply with a US law? Or does US law somehow trump other nation's laws? Anyone know?

Usually it's a condition of the billing company.

As long as they use Visa-net for billing they need to post a 2257 notice -- as a formality.
** You have to comply with a biller's conditions or they don't do business with you. Access to credit card processing is not a human right. US law has no jurisdiction outside of the USA but I suppose they could try and strong-arm VISA/MC like they did with backpage. Works like this: The US-DOJ needs a court order in that foreign jurisdiction. There has to be a corresponding law (or some treaty) in the foreign jurisdiction to be granted a court order. |

Also the US indirectly controls most TLDs (including .com) through verisign (who is a US corp) so if you don't follow US law your domain could be seized. See: thepiratebay

Because they like to go to Vegas and don't like being put in jail.
