As you can see, the site doesn't appear to fall under US jurisdiction, as it appears to be from Amsterdam..
The information above just shows that the site is in Europe. RIPENCC is NOT the bad guy here, they just assign IP addresses to hostnames.
BTW, you can get better info than this, including actual names.. I'm not going to post that info though. But the instructions on how to do so are in the block of text above..
