I was going to correct you, spent time going through the Berne Convention to be able to say why you are wrong.

Then I read http://www.ip-watch.org/2012/03/15/more-foreigners-find-them... which let me know that you are right.

If the courts can identify some connection between the infringing act and the USA, then you can be sued by the USA. And the kinds of connections that have been deemed sufficient are pretty tenuous. For instance uploading to a website that - entirely unbeknown to you - automatically backs up to a US server suffices for US law to apply to you.
