Except that if it ISN'T a crime where I did the action is it still a crime? IE if I crack a US CD in the UK am I inviolation of the DMCA? What if that CD was in a drive on a PC in the USA? The question comes down to at which computer did the crime take place? The one he used, or the one he broke into? If the argument is the doing what he did at his computer is a crime, then UK should have jurisdiction with all the leagal-ese the comes with it. If, on the other hand, the crime takes place at the site of the infiltrated computer, how do you know what the laws are of a computer your using when you don't know physically where that computer is, and so can't really do anything with it, etc.
