> Then they conspired (shown in leaked emails) to only follow DMCA requests coming from large US entities (while ignoring requests coming from Mexico, for example). Color me ignorant, but this doesn't sit right with me. Does the DCMA have international scope? Does the FBI enforce Mexican law?

There are various international acts, treaties, and arrangements on copyright and intellectual property. You're copyright and IP rights don't disappear the moment the data crosses into the USA.

  That's not being asked. The question is wether a Mexican entity has legal standing to take legal action using a US law against a US-based entity in a US court.

  They generally only cover the recognition of copyright, not enforcement of batshit crazy american law.
