Berne Copyright Convention One must remember that this convention (or really "treaty") is an agreement that has different implementations depending on the part of the world you are in. I am talking about "US Copyright Law" and it's applications here. Europe has different standards (& exceptions) as does Australia, etc. Remember, that the US has "signed" the Kyoto Treaty but will not "ratify" it. In other words, international agreements, conventions, etc are only applicable so far as they are implemented in law. --EK
