I would have to say yes. Globalization of trade and markets is dependant to
some degree on a commonality of law. As you say, there's presently no
reason a US firm couldn't destroy the network of a UK firm with whom it
competes to get a competitive advantage. If spammers are any example, then
there are people out there low enough to take advantage of such a loophole.
It is probably reasonable to expect that every country will maintain its own
speed limits and decency statues. I do believe that crimes against people
and property should be prosecutable across international borders.
Unfortunately, that is probably a utopian dream.
