What I gathered from reading the article, is that appears that within their country they could enforce these laws, but because of International Copyright agreements with Europe and the US/Canada, it is very unlikely they would be able to enforce the laws. The more I thought about it, it seems very unlikely that artists here would be affected by this, but I thought to post the link to make people aware of this. When I first found the article, I really thought it was almost on the crazy side. What next? Try to copyright Stonehenge? The Parthanon (yeah, right, like most building architecture in Europe and consequently over on this side of the Pond isn't all influenced by Greek and Roman buildings)? While I believe in being proud of ancient heritage and the enginuity of ancient cultures to build these wonders that have survived until modern times, I think it's crazy for modern cultures to try to 'copyright' something built or made thousands of years ago.
