I'm no lawyer but I suspect that you'll find the original question has more to do with the extradition treaty in force between the two nations.
UK citizens can be extradited on the request of an American court, which does not even have to provide evidence, because those are the terms of the treaty we signed post 9/11. Of course, the Americans never ratified the treaty so it only works one way.
So in the UK if you break American DRM laws it's a very real question as to whether you could end up in court in the US. The offence does not have to be committed in the US, as the 'Natwest Three' in the UK discovered to their cost.
