Well firstly the laws will apply in those other countries. That's what we have extradition and sovereignty for.
Secondly I see no great harm done to people such as your professor: it's no different from recieving tv licence letters. However if the company ever crossed the line and started harrassing an innocent individual then there are other laws to protect that individual.
