Hi,
i doubt you can say that the national gallery has choosen to publish in the USA. There servers are probably in the UK, so i'd say that they publish in the UK. That the pages can be viewed in the USA is a different matter.
UK courts would beg to differ see Lennox Lewis & Ors. v. Don King
Analogy: If i print and publish/sell a book in the Netherlands, I publish it here in the Netherlands. If some USA retailer orders 2000 copies to sell in the states, that doesnt mean i publish them in the USA, merely that they are for sale in the USA.
2000? Try 20 we've had some interesting libel cases in the UK lately:
