Of course the enforcement power of the US Gov is greater than that of any individual company. But what I mean is that US law is not the world law and even that power has its limits. For instance I don't see how the US can go out and effectively enforce these rules in Russia or China. Of course these jurisdictions might have their own rules regarding money transmission, but they'd be not the same.

Are Cashu mint operators breaking the law?

Good point, but I am not sure if you can compare IP laws with money transmission laws just like that.

For example, in the case you mentioned, DreamWorks is a company and they were trying to protect their IP by suing Pirate Bay. But in the case of money, it's not a company that will go after you, but the executive branch of the US government. I think that's a big difference.

However, I am pretty sure anyway the US does not care where you server is when it comes to money. If you're serving US customers, you're subject to US law. Else you need to geofence the US.
