The first 2 are under "Free association" with the US, but have their own copyright laws. All three have their own TLD (.pw, .fm, and .ps)
- hda2 6y ago> It comes as part of WIPO usually. No, it does not. DMCA is a US-specific implementation of WIPO treaties. Parties residing in other countries are under no obligation to honer it (beyond complying with local laws) and will not benefit from its safe-harbor provisions even if they did.
- lucb1e 6y agoOther comments, replying to people suggesting to host in Switzerland or so, say that similar protections apply there. Now GP is downvoted with as sole response that other countries don't have DMCA. Can't have it both ways: yes, DMCA is a USA law but that doesn't mean that other WIPO signatories don't have similar laws that lawyers will be sure to find if people move stuff there.
