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.

This :2 cents:

Visa / MC

So US corporations are forcing foreign businesses to comply with US law, even though they're 100% based abroad? Really? And people are worried about elected officials like Donald Trump running wild?

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.

you said 'trump'

i was excited for a bit

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.

They do it...

For the same reason as they put RTA, ASACP and other labels to their sites...
