He might have problems if he gets a default judgment against him and ever wants to visit the UK, or perhaps even any EU country, or has any assets in those countries.
If a money judgment is entered by a fair process with notice and jurisdiction by a non-US court and the time for appeals has passed the judgment can be enforced in most states via the local version of the Uniform Foreign Money Judgments Recognition Act.
I'm uncertain if any injunctions might be enforced or if so by what process.

Many people are uninformed on the matter and don't realize the enormous harm that would be caused were the NPG allowed to arbitrarily seize the copyright on works hundreds of years old, and they don't recognize that there are ways to fund museum work which are fair and proportional and don't involve robbing our descendants by privatizing antiquities. It isn't widely understood that NPG's legal theories are suspect even under UK law and that in the US their copyright assertions are, quite possibly, criminal.
Ridiculous.
Just to be clear, as I'm sure Kato knows, Cedric didn't make the quoted statement, Gmaxwell did.
