I know, for example, that Italy is the paradise of bootleg cds. Although
another country's law may not allow bootlegs to be produced there, they
can't do nothing to prevent Italian ones to be LEGALLY sold in their
territory, as they comply with the Italian copyright laws.
Another problem is determining exactly who performed the illegal act: I
myself know two ways to send a msg to anyone, including this discussion
group, using someone else's e-mail address. Imagine what hackers can do!
Best wishes,
Caio

I'm no legal expert, but copyright laws are applicable internationally,
provided that the nations in question have an agreement. Most do, although
there are some "renegade" nations that do not provide protection for the
intellectual property of others.
