Of course they do, see the arrest of Augusto Pinochet. Due to the nature of mass copyright violation, it is likely that these sites violate the rights of Spanish copyright holders, and if such a violated party obtains a court order against an ISP, I see no reason why the violations should go on everywhere except Spain.
