You are fine as long as your registrar (albeit there are no laws anywhere for them) and web host is not owned by someone within, or physically located within the United States and its militarized zones, otherwise they are still harbouring unlawful material on your behalf and (they are) subject to US law.

If a suggested code/method fails, informing us is less important than telling us why or what errors occurred.

Also, you will be subject to the laws of whatever country you/your server ARE located in. There are a lot of treaties related to this stuff.

Also it may be illegal for users from the US to visit your website.
Please, write clearly with proper structure. Double spacing makes the text feel un-jointed, Capitalizing Every Word Means People Stop Before Every Word Sub-Consciously Which Is A Pain In The Backside, and use code tags! (The right most styling box).
