If they do not care about any users from there, and do not take money from there (for example from ads) they can show them the finger.
What’s the basis for this? (More specifically: is this from a specific jurisdiction?)

The Us copyright counts if the new company is doing business in Usa (regardless where the company is).

The simple principle that a country’s law is in force in this country, while in another country it is that other country’s law. It is also called sovereignty.

The US doesn’t respect sovereignty. Hence our sanctions regimes, embargoes, and charging people that have never been to the united states or done business with it with crimes and extraditing them. Ie, people for drugs in latin america that never did business with americans.

Until you remember ICANN is a US org and will give your domain to whomever a judge tells them to, or your CDN disabling your services, or your VM host, crashHub is owned by M$ so they will comply with a takedown of a repo.
“I’m not in the US it doesn’t effect me” makes as much sense as “I don’t care about privacy, I have nothing to hide”

They can put it under the TLD of a country like Belarus or North Korea. But I guess that would be too much of a hassle.

That’s not what I said. It is about your doing business there, or not.
