If there was a global law enforcement, possibly. But there isn't.
You are embarrassing yourself. Seriously.

1) Ever hear of INTERPOL?

2) Since when has the USA cared about international law? If they want it, they do it. End of story.

Ask Kim Dotcom how the lack of international laws is working out for him.

3) The FBI has offices (legal attaches) all over the world, in most major cities, located inside the US Embassy. If they need to deal with something based on violation of US law, that is what they are there for.

What did the FBI do to the online poker sites they wanted to close? They seized their domains. They also sized domains for counterfeiting sites. They couldn't seize the actual sites or touch the owners in China, but they can touch the domains, and that is all that matters.

Lay the burden in the lap of the registrars, who lose the right to sell domains if they refuse to cooperate. Problem solved.
