The only thing that is world wide is the strength of a nation to imposs 
their law on another, through either arms, the UN or trade.

Copyright, trademark and patents are the right of the individual 
country.  There exit certain treaties that may extend the laws of one 
country into the other but such may be circumvented.  The individual US 
states may have trademark laws that the federal US trademark laws cannot 
overrule.

In the case of patents, most radio amateurs are licensed as experimenters, 
therefor have the right to build any patented antenna for experimental 
purposes only.  Further, if the antenna is patented only in the US anyone 
in Canada can build it for sale.

There is a lot of stuff on the copying of printed material by libraries, 
schools and individuals.  Also, on music.

Many people think that the Japanses companies have used  the laws in a way 
that  are wrong.

I tend to agree that we should no promote the copying of such but I sure 
wish the owners would not make the price of it so dear.
