that would really depend on the technology used. from the sound of it, they're picturing either more like a subscription service of a few bucks a month, which if done right and completey said "fuck yourself" to american laws, could be a huge hit...and probably cause the mpaa to declare war via their minions.
or it could be a microtransaction site, where you're paying a la cart, but i'm betting streamed, rather than giving you the content.
Either way, i'm sure that US Ip addy's would be filtered, so you'd need a proxy, plus since it probably wouldn't be using open torrents, 6 strikes wouldn't really adress it at all. (obviously there's a lot of speculation there, just going by what's been said so far, and the fact that they'd want to monetize this + some common sense).
Assuming they don't fuck it up completely by going for a cash grab.
Depends on which court you mean. US courts, hell no.
NZ or international human rights courts on the other hand? seems a lot more likely. Ofc, any decision against the US would be trumpeted as foreigners trying to undermine our democratically elected by god legislators and met with overwhelming hostility
(see the bullshit fox news & the right trumped up about election observers for an example.)
