Is there such thing as an international copyright that provides blanketed protection around the world? The answer to this question is no.
According to the United States Copyright Office, there is no such thing as an “international copyright that will automatically protect an author’s writings throughout the world.”[1] Copyright protection laws are completely governed by the laws of each specific country.[2] In other words, every country establishes their own copyright law.
For the ambitious scribe or artist, this means that just because you copyright your work here in the United States, does not necessarily guarantee that it is protected in another country. While this sounds negative, there is some good news that may be of benefit to those who are looking for more info in this area.
