In that I don't live in the USA, and I'm not a lawyer, I'm no expert on USA Law, which despite what some think, only applies in the USA, or in some cases (according to the USA) to USA citizens overseas unless they renounce citizenship. So of course I may be wrong. However some aspects of USA laws break international treaties and laws.
