The internet is a while other animal. Companies in the other countries only have to follow laws of other companies if they physically do business there. Online business is not enough, and it shouldn't be. Anyone can do online business anywhere. I don't have a need to subscribe to porn, but there are plenty of those sites. From what you say, a court in the middle east should be allowed to close a site because it violates the laws of its land. That would never work. Based on the way the US is set up, states (commonwealths) are their own entity. The feds are there for dispute resolution between them. One state does not have to honor something from another state. Have you read anything about gay marriage lately? Only a couple states allow it. Only like one more recognizes it.
