What stops someone from reselling within the US. They didn't sign the agreement with Micro Center.

Something tells me this is the AI companies not wanting people to run local AI models in other countries.

    nah I think it's just to appease the Orange Ape. Other then China AI companies wouldn't care if people ran models in a different country, after all they would still make money just via different part of the bubble
