All they need for that, is an international agreement about where computer activity takes place.
It should be a simple issue--a few tech experts & politicians sit down and sort out some details, and decide whether the activity takes place at the user's physical location, the server's physical location, or the legal-jurisdiction location of the site(s) involved. They can even decide on variables, like whether the jurisdiction of intermediary servers are relevant. No problem.

That's of course, not a simple issue. I can see a couple more different angles on it, including a rule that US courts have jurisdiction if the end user resides in the US . There will be a fight , but I expect there will be resolution on this issue before too long . AS to the general copyright questionwait your post on that issue.
