    Most ? All ? Not even close.

    As of march 26, 2004, only *46* countries were signatory to the WIPO
    treaty. A full list is available at :

    http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/documents/pdf/s-wct.pdf

    Thats not even half of the (approximately) 193 countries in the world.

    So even assuming your legal arguments to be valid (which I would dispute,
    but IANAL), you are *way* overboard on your assumption of the universality
    of relevant copyright law.

    Perhaps if you wish to continue the discussion of international copyright
    law,
    we could do it off list, as this is not really relevant to pen-testing.
