The usa has "control" over all domains, that doesn't mean they have jurisdiction over what happens on servers in other countries .. if the domain itself is a copyright infringement then theoretically they could have jurisdiction over the domain.

but hey neither of us are lawyers so i guess it is a useless argument.

one thing is certain , if the usa starts pushing the issue , they will likely no longer have control over domains either..

The brits created the first flushing toilet, doesn't mean they can tell people in other countries how to shit..
