How could Google sidestep compliance with US laws? They are incorporated in the US, are they not?

I imagine in ways analogous to how they avoid paying US taxes, even though they are incorporated in the US.

That wouldn't work. Their tax avoidance strategies are legal with respect to US law. If they operated in the US without honoring DMCA requests, Patriot Act etc, they'd quickly be sued or arrested by the US govt.
