Barron, the word "conspire" actually means to plan or to "agree to do" something - requires two or more people. Basic gist is this: Even if you are outside the US, but are working with someone who is in the US (like sponsor, payment processor, content provider, etc) and enter into a contractual agreement (like becoming an affiliate) then you are subject to the law - no matter where you are actually located.

The rules seem to specifically exclude script writers, companies that build html editors, and anyone else "once removed" from the situation, who is not handling actual content nor is in control of that content or website.

However, I just thought of something. This is going to be the death for counters with images on them.
