You're also in trouble if you send the data you collect by other methods without consent, to servers based in the USA for NSA to snoop around on and correlate with all their other data points.

Unless your argument is "but how would they know about it", in which case that applies to any other crime.

Instead you must give it to their European equivalents (which looks likely given the current state of affairs).

Yes, and NSA can read all communications anyway. This whole thing is a political issue not a technical one.
