We actually have this pretty well covered wrt to US laws. :)
We are talking about the "national laws" threating
users/vendors/re-distributors in a particular country.
Wrt. "youth protection", US laws are widely irrelevant. It's similar to
US "alcohol/tobacco/drug laws", "weapon laws", "medication laws", "car
part regulations". At least in my country (Germany), they are widely
irrelevant.
Relevant wrt. "youth protection" on SW in Germany are computer games.
Very oversimplified, in general, it's illegal in Germany to make
"non-USK-certified/rated" computer games available to people below
certain age, rsp. in some cases, to distribute them at all.
