which is gonna get very tricky. as I stated above, everything to do with Well's is under copyright in the UK. technically, if someone was to create something covered by that it's illegal to buy and use it in the UK, since the copyright holders do not get what is due them by UK law. conversely, if I create something in the UK which is ok under UK law, but not US law, again thats a problem, since I would not be allowed to post it anywhere on the net that can be accessed by the US. I can see this in the future becoming more of a problem. what can we do? without a unified code, the berne convention is useless, since it can be overridden by local law defeating the protection it is supposed to provide the copyright holders it was designed to protect.
