It doesnt matter what is legal or not legal in your country. As long as your website is available to US consumers and you do business in the US - hosting, billing, affiliates, members, models, photographers, videographers, content producers, clients ect.

For example, you have 4 .com domains listed in your sig - all US based. You have a DMCA policy on your TOS - a US law. I am sure you have clients in the US you have sold to. You post on GFY.com and advertise here - a US based adult industry website. By those actions you have made yourself subject to the laws and jurisdiction of the United States.

If you dont like that, change all your domains to .pl and geo block all IPs from the United States and do not sell to anyone in the US. Do not post on GFY. Then you would not be subject to jurisdiction of the United States courts.

Good luck with making money without the United States, its citizens and other companies located here.
I was asking what about assets NOT located in the US. So besides domains and stuff that would be considered US assets. What I was asking is would you need a local judgement in that country to seize cars, property, etc that is located outside of the US. We obviously do alot of business with the US - but hypothetically if you were litigating against me, I had all .pl domains, hosted outside of the US, and got paid by clients primarily with bank transfers and not VISA etc. If you sued me in the US, and I lost by default, would you be able to go after property owned by me in PL to satisfy the debt from the judgement without a ruling from a PL court?
