If it was owned and operated outside the country, then they would have no say. (Or should have no say, anyways)

It still depends. Legal arguments can be made. Basically, if they are pirating the property of American companies, their actions are being directed at America, therefore it's still a crime, and they can, in theory, be sued for it if they somehow come within our jurisdiction, or properly served under the laws of whatever country they are in.
