Oh, and specifically the Berne Convention and WIPO treaties provide guidelines for copyright law and requirements for them to be compatible, but do not agree to follow copyright laws despite country or otherwise location. They agree to honour copyright, not copyright laws. Yes, to remain compatible with the conventions the laws are very similar, but no, the convention and treaty do not compel, for instance, the Danes to follow US copyright law. They follow Danish copyright law which is either Berne Convention compliant or Berne Convention Compliant With Reservations. Many countries do maintain reservations -- for instance, the UK has the right to renew an expired copyright as the property of the UK itself if they deem it a 'National Treasure', and such copyright does not ever expire, as with the works fo HG Wells. However, this has no bearing on the public dominion of many of Mr. Wells's works in the US and elsewhere. This is not compliant with the Berne COnvention or WIPO, but the UK maintains that reservation regardless and otherwise generally remains BC compliant. Most countries disregard the US's DMCA, and rightly so as the act actually violates a licensor's copyright in many cases, which is again not Berne Convention or WIPO compliant as it removes or restricts the fair use rights of a copyright licensor as provided for in both the aforementioned conventions. Since the US enforces the DMCA, it is also Berne Convention compliant with reservations. IANODL (I am not a Danish lawyer), but I'd reckon that if two glaring BC reservations such as this stand out from two of the most prominent signatory bodies of said conventions, there are very likely also Danish reservations or even simply specific definitions that the Berne convention does not clearly address (such as precisely how to approach the problem of the myriad works of Mr. Anon).
