Introduction
International Copyright
A term known as “international copyright” safeguards a writer’s work all over the world. Depending on the national laws of a particular nation, protection is provided against unauthorized use in that nation. Nonetheless, many nations provide protection to foreign works under specific guidelines that have been considerably streamlined by international copyright conventions and treaties. To safeguard the creators and owners of works covered by foreign copyright and to provide protections that go beyond national borders, the International Copyright Order was created in 1999.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Since copyright protection is a national right, the level of protection provided to artists and authors varies from nation to nation and is governed by national law.
Every nation has specific copyright laws that control intellectual property (such as copyright) in that nation. A nation's copyright regulations only cover content produced and used there. This implies that an author's copyright that is legitimate in the United States might not be recognized in other nations.
The Berne Convention imposes a duty that nations respect the copyrights held by residents of all other convention parties.
There is no such thing as a global copyright protection that safeguards all of your protected works by default.
