So? If the BBC can't dodge US jurisdiction their lawyers are incompetent
And, of course, it's still on the Current TV site. I wonder if Al Gore is quaking in fear.
Eh fear of not being sued perhaps given from what I last heard they really really need the publicity and can probably get their hands on enough cash to afford to lose.
I refer the honorable gentleman once more to the case where Felten said "come on, let's take it to court" and the RIAA broke the sound barrier backing off.
Not a directly relivant case. Note the lack of comment from the EFF.

Geni, you're kinda grasping at straws here. If they wanted to "own" anyone, they'd be in the process of trying right now. They can't put this genie back in the bottle anyway, they're not going to fight a court case that -they might lose- when it'll do no good anyway. I'm sure there are plenty of sites outside the US happily hosting the key, and they'll get nothing but laughed at sending C&D's to them.
