As you can see in the list above , it isn't just a few rogue countries that have a different opinion of copyright laws/lengths.

Your real question is
Q) why should people be concerned about american copyright law being imposed on citizens of other countries that have nothing to with usa ?

A) For the same reason you would not want Iranian laws imposed on you.

The u.s. has a tld of its own just like every other country has the right to. If they want to impose american laws on american domains that's fine.
