I don't understand why other countries besides the U.S. would go after piracy. Most of pirate material isn't made there. Is the U.S. putting pressure on these countries?

If they are going to make an "example" of the pirate, why has his name not being released? Isn't that what making an example of someone should be. Maybe it's some sort of "prisoner" privacy laws. They don't want to "shame" him.
