"Their response was to insist that ".com meant USA. ""

I believe they may be factually correct. The last time I looked into this I was told that if you had a .com website, you potentially fell under US jurisdiction for all matters appertaining. Same for .org and so on. It's like postage stamps; the country that invented them doesn't have its name on its stamps.
