The short answer is that a company does not have to be U.S.-based (nor do its owners/principals) in order for a U.S. court to assert jurisdiction over that entity. If the company transacts business in the U.S., has content on servers within the U.S., etc., such things are a sufficient 'nexus' for the court to assert jurisdiction.
The long answer is too complicated for satisfactory explanation on a webmaster message board.... and way too nuanced to be addressed by a layman like myself, anyway. ;-)
