Relocating your headquarters does not unincorporate your incorporated entities within the jurisdiction in question, and that's the trouble they're in now. They have many onshore (Chinese) holdings.

An Irish corporation doing business in the US via a US-incorporated entity is subject to US law. The people within that parent corporation are very subject to US law if they step foot on US soil, and mostly subject to US law if they step foot on the soil of any country with an extradition treaty with the US.

This is a fallacy.

What happens is this. Someone makes a product with a 0.1% reliability. They sell it but warn it is not that high quality. Then someone says "If they are at least 10% reliable, it is worth it and buys the product.

Their is no evidence these are 10% reliable. Everything about it screams these are a new cheap, almost worthless missile. Particularly the use of the word 'hypersonic' to describe a missile that the US would never call hypersonic (we reserve that word for advanced, hard to hit hypersonic cruise missiles, not hypersonic ballistic missiles that are easy to destroy)

The analogy doesn't really work for two reasons. Firstly copyright infringement is a civil matter, not criminal. Secondly they were informed about the copyright infringement, but declined to cut off the customer. It was a request to stop providing service that was allegedly being abused, going against their own Terms of Service.

This is still the right decision. Aside from it being bad if companies can be forced to enforce their own ToS, there has never been a trial to determine if the copyright infringement actually took place, and if the right person was identified. These claims are notoriously unreliable.

Lockheed focuses on reliability of weapons, rather than quantity. As we have seen in Ukraine and now in Iran, quantity is often more important. Ukraine uses a lot of civilian grade material in drones, for example, as does Russia. Shear numbers and low cost are more important than military grade component reliability.
