Because most major websites are in US. I can totally see Google, Twitter and Yahoo making huge profit from that law. They host insane amount of contents, both text and multimedia.

That's just another law that will export money and business from EU to US. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17195493 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17195493
