If you are not working for a US company, then US law does not apply.
This is exactly the point that I am trying to get across.  This is no
different than someone contracting you now.  You would be required to
follow the laws that govern a normal contract.  If it is within the same
country, then the laws of that country.  If it is across international
borders, then you would be required to do whatever is necessary
according to the laws of both countries.  The only reason that US law
would be used is if you either live in the US or are working for a
company in the US.
