Hi, I will let the lawyers answer the first question while pointing out this presentation by Tobias Lutzi <https://prezi.com/vgxvatcao9vo/which-law-applies-to-wikipedia/> from Wikimania in London. There's a video <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tobias_Lutzi_-_Which_Law_Applies_to_Wikipedia_-_Wikimania_2014.webm>.
Also worth noting that on most Wikipedias we try to comply with both the country of origin of the content/language and the US law where the servers are. So for instance on Bulgarian Wikipedia we tend to only allow content that respects Bulgarian and US copyright. There is a The EU legal acts in the area of copyright have what is called "EEA relevance". This means that apart from the (still 28) Member States, they are also binding (although with more flexibilities) to Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. Thus this reform sets out the copyright framework for 32 countries in Europe.
