The few exceptions are where copyright essentially doesn't exist at all. Where it does, this is how it works.
- HenryBemis 8y agoAs someone above posted the wider "List of parties to international copyright agreements", this is one of the boxes that need to be ticked prior to signing any form of deal between countries. It's a kind of 'fundamental' in order to start doing business with that country (or for the country to be taken seriously).

Micronesia does not have copyright, but has even stricter regime of creative works, amounting to a patent-like protection.
