Maybe he laws of the country apply where it was made, but in most cases laws can only be applied on citizens of that country, or non-citizens within its borders. If you are not any of them, they can sue you, but in case of a smaller law violation (ie: violatation some copright laws with abandonware) they won't come too far. Of course if you are a really big fish, like an operator of a real warez site or selling games downloaded from warez sites, they can give the case to the authorities of your country which will than deal with you by the laws of your country.

In any case US laws only apply for US citizens or other citizens within the borders of the USA, nobody else!
