The US Government is presently trying to extradite an Australian resident/citizen for distributing warez via the Internet from Australia to the US. And it sounds like the extradition request is going to be successful. So I'm not sure that non-US webmasters should automatically assume that these laws cannot be applied to them.

UNEMPLOYED NSW man Hew Raymond Griffiths has moved one step closer to becoming the first man in Australia be extradited to the US to face trial for multi-million-dollar software piracy.
The 41-year-old Central Coast man is facing extradition for illegally copying software, music and games after losing a Federal Court case against the US Government.
He was in Silverwater jail last night, pending a decision on whether he will appeal against the ruling by judge Peter Jacobson. Mr Griffiths's solicitors have 15 days to lodge an appeal before he is extradited to the US.
