I'm not a citizen of Pakistan.

I don't live in Pakistan.

My servers aren't in Pakistan.

Pakistan can't force me to comply with their laws just because a Pakistani national uses my site.

Same thing with EU laws.

If you want to do business in Pakistan you do.
I'm not doing business in Pakistan or in the EU.

The mere fact that a Pakistani or European uses my site doesn't subject me to the laws of Pakistan or the European Union.

The fact that they are using your site means you are doing business with them.
You know, same could be said for the US, but look how that turned out for Kim Dotcom. Extradition and humongous expenses for him - all because people in a country that was unrelated to the site decided to break their copyright rules and use it :).
