My impression however is that the details could be available on non-US sites, since these kinds of laws don't exist yet (although I believe the UK are discussing such issues). It all sounds very unhealthy, whatever it is.
Indeed, and they are available at http://www.thefreeworld.net Whilst there's nothing actually stopping a .us citizen from downloading the information there, agreeing to the disclaimer removes the responsibility of the maintainers.
