They can't apply EU law to citizens residing outside of the union.

Well, somehow we in EU have to comply with DMCA, which is not an EU law. Every company that _does business in_ EU can get in trouble for not following EU law irrespective where it violated that law.

Sure they can, at least in theory. US citizens have to pay taxes no matter where they reside. Most countries will prosecute certain crimes abroad if those crimes were committed by their citizens or against their citizens or against the state.

The practical question is just if they can get hold of the people acting unlawfully.
