I’m just not clear on all of this.

i would guess that it would be determined by the business structure and how its all put together. you are american and bound by US law... however, i fail to see how a properly structured business, that does not exist in the US, does not bill in the US and does not host in the US and has no real presence in the US makes you personally liable for anything if you were just an employee or independent contractor for that company. For example, if a big European adult company hires you to work for them... are you responsible for their compliance with 2257 rules just because you work for them and happen to be american? no.

there is no shortcut however to doing things like this. its expensive to do it right and you need good tax attorneys.

Chris was just being an idiot and obviously acting without the advice of attorneys.
