Selling and using weed is also illegal in the Netherlands, but if someone from the Netherlands does that activity in the US (either by going there or by for example sending it via the mail), that person is still breaking the law in the US. The US and the Netherlands have an extradition policy for those cases.
The other way around though, the US has already indicated that if ever an American citizen (like IDK, Bush or Cheney or whoever) is going to be tried for war crimes in The Hague, they'd send in their military to extract them. WW3 material right there.
As for the copyright laws, it depends. It was never allowed to upload music and the like - i.e. seeding if you talk about torrent clients. IIRC some leaked Megaupload emails / internal communications indicated that some of the staff was uploading material themselves (but I could mis-remember that)
