I can't post links yet, but simply google "hague convention" and "copyright laws". The Hague covers things such as international custody battles, copyright issues, and so much more.
The DMCA is not enforceable in any other country outside of US jurisdiction, BUT almost all countries have some form of copyright law, so that can be used, obviously.

Just depends on who your lawyers are, if they have multinational offices, if you've got the $$$ to drop, and if the person on the other end knows where they stand.

BTW guys, before you go DMCA crazy, remember - if you lodge a phoney / fake / incomplete / poor DMCA - you can get hit back in return and be fucked just as hard or harder.
