INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT PROTECTION

There is no such thing as an "international copyright" that will
automatically protect an author's writings throughout the entire world.
Protection against unauthorized use in a particular country depends,
basically, on the national laws of that country. However, most countries
do offer protection to foreign works under certain conditions, and these
conditions have been greatly simplified by international copyright
treaties and conventions. For further information and a list of countries
that maintain copyright relations with the United States, request Circular
38a, "International Copyright Relations of the United States."

Universal Copyright Convention

This Convention entered into force on 10 July 1974. It subsequently
entered into force for each State three months after the date of deposit
of that State's instrument, except in cases of notifications of
succession, where the entry into force occurred on the date on which the
State assumed responsibility for conducting its international relations.

24 July 1971, Paris, 24 July 1971.
