Are you done editing your post? It's been 3-4 times now.
In rem does not apply here, the "victims" would not have owned property previously here. This would be In personam.
It does not matter what France or Euro laws are with 2257, and you are only using 2257 as an example. He would be sued in a civil suit on many charges such as distributing the likeness of the victims without permission, negligence, emotional distress, and on and on.
You may think US law has no jurisdiction over France, but you are incorrect. That may apply to extradition. Even if you live in France, the United States Judge can rule that the case jurisdiction would be the state of the victim. A default judgement would be awarded if ignored by the French owner and a judge in France would have no reason to block it if it complies with French law. The 2257 part of the claim may not stick, but the rest would.
It is funny how many of you worry about 2257, complying should be on your to do list, but that is the least of your worries if you get sued.
