Nice result but.......
Why the use of "Americans'", does that mean the rest of the world can't be
attacked by the RIAA, that the worldwide threat was just piss and wind, or are
we back to the fact that people forget that the world is not American?

Neither.
If the 'bad guys' want to fire their legal guns in the US, US law
applies.
UK law applies for legal actions in the UK. So the way I read it, the
quoted spokesperson saw the matter as a strictly national thing.
Nothing wrong with that.
They had to start somewhere, choosing the USA was rather obvious.

And besides, having heard the latest on how UK local authorities can
steal someone's car, create a huge big mess and have the owner pay for
the mess - the music industry just might want to look at the UK at a
later stage, say when you've got a proper -written- constitution.

Okeedoke, the reason I asked was that every time I saw a post here about the use
of Kazaa etc, I only ever read comments about how the RIAA was going to do this
and how the RIAA was going to do that.
Yes, bloody public servants, they forget all about serving the public when it
suits them.

Exactly !
USA's RIAA is by no means an organisation to underestimate. When money
speaks ...
They must have been in a winning mood after the Napster episode. Then,
it seems, they turned up the volume a bit, claiming that they would
'eradicate the world-wide evil of P2P-sharing' etc, but that's just
threatening the general public.
They (RIAA and the likes) have chosen the legal battlefield, - with
all it's (international) legal pitfalls. To cut a long story short: P2P
sharing banned worldwide? That remains to be seen.

I hope the judges who sit on the cases take into consideration that banning p2p
would impact on legal file transfers.
