Oh I agree that it's silly when the US tries to use strong arm tactics in
other countries. But, remember, if there is a presence of a company in
those countries, they can still take the offending site to court in their
own country.
Anyway, just cause a site is in another country doesn't mean that a company
still couldn't attempt to bully the offending site with a lawsuit.
