"US law governs companies in US jurisdiction, If Microsoft et al do not want to be subject to US law, they should move out of the US"
Sigh. I've said this here a couple of times. Looks like I'll have to say it again.
All they have to do is arrange for a franchisee to operate the business outside the US. They can then go to the US court & truthfully say they have no access, it has to be done through the franchisee which operates under the law of the country where the franchisee is located.
It's not like US business don't have lawyers capable of setting up franchises( for tax purposes).
You're also missing the point that it's not Microsoft et al who want to be not subject to US law. It's their non-US customers. Why should we be so subject?
