You are correct, a company that is outside of the USA does not fall under the laws of the USA. I said that myself.
I also said that a company that is INSIDE of the USA or has operations INSIDE of the USA is subject to the laws of the USA. This includes companies that are based in the USA that use lead generation company that are outside of the USA. The company that is doing lead generation outside of the USA will not get shut down. The company that they are doing lead generation for INSIDE of the USA can get shut down for the activities of the company OUTSIDE of the USA because they are acting on their behalf. This can still be a problem for the non-USA company because they might not get paid for their lead generation activities if the USA-based client of theirs is shut down. There are many instances of this happening. A recent one was last year where a company called Ameriquest was fined $1 million for violation of the DNC through it's affiliates, some of which were off-shore lead generation companies. The company shut down because of this fine.
