Gotta love people who live on generalizations. It is very common for people or businesses to sue foreign individuals and other interests in US courts and expect for those rulings to be legally binding. Unless the foreign entity has some sort of presence or asset inside the USA, these cases should be tossed immediately as they are a drain on our court system and a waste of our tax dollars.
The most egregious example of this sort of lunacy is the RIAA suing AllOfMp3.com (a Russian company with no business presence in the USA) in a court in New York for $1.65 trillion. Even if such a suit is successful, there's no way to collect on the judgement. These kinds of suits belong in foreign courts, not US courts.
