While talking about copyright laws, it is not possible to avoid the Berne Convention. This treaty has been signed by almost all the countries. The convention actually forces other countries to respect and honor the copyright laws on other countries. It is important that all countries copyright laws meet with some minimum standards. One interesting fact is that it actually took a century of time for all the countries to get on board with this treaty. Intellectual property law is now a crucial part of the economies of various countries and also international trade and in no way, we should mess with that treaty.
