If you don't want to be in their jurisdiction, don't do business in their jurisdiction. If you do business in their country, why would you not be subject to their laws?

If I do business in, say, Australia, but Europeans fly to me to purchase my services, am I then bound by European law? The internet is basically the same deal, no?

Fun fact - Americans invented this concept. If you're doing anything fintech with a citizen of U.S., you have to uphold to certain regulations invented by the U.S.A. Even if you're doing it on European grounds.
