Re: [LM_NET] copyright laws in other countries

[Carrie Russell <crussell@ALAWASH.ORG>]

Yes, other countries have different laws.  The US is a member nation of
the World Intellectual Property Organization.  Countries that are
members have a treaty that they agree to follow in their own country (to
a certain extent).  The basic rule is a reciprocal agreement - the
French author's work will get the US copyright treatment when in US, and
the US author 's work will get the French copyright treatment when in
France. 

Your second question is harder and is a key focus of many national and
international court cases.  I do not believe that it has been resolved
in law.
