Except that's an entirely different situation. Besides the fact that he doesn't live in the US, nor is he in prison in the US, and he most definitely isn't a citizen of the United States. Now, if it were a country that shares some some sort of alignment with the US (like the UK), then that'd be a different story. For example, let's say that they put Robert Plant (lead singer of Led Zeppelin, UK citizen) into a game without his permission. He can sue Activision and request: Pulling all copies of the game that haven't been sold, royalties/damages from sales of the game, or even both. However, Panama has no sort of alignment with the US as far as I know (besides free-trade) and their copyright laws don't come together in any way.
