The DMCA is the United States implementation of the World Intellectual Property Organizations treaties. So there likely is an equivalent statute in your jurisdiction.
- bornfreddy 2y agoIt doesn't matter. DMCA is an implementation of the IP protection (and a very biased one). While the treaties might agree on the principles, fortunately most other countries don't have an equivalent mechanism. "Yet.", a pessimist would add.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 2y agoNot really sure what the point of this comment is to be honest. Other jurisdictions didn’t simply copy and paste the DMCA. OP’s desire to be threatened in terms of the regulations that they’re actually beholden to is completely valid. Because, spoiler alert, international treaties aside, not every implementation is as terrible as the DMCA.
- Teever 2y agoIs this actually true? I was under the impression that the DMCA came first and then similar stuff was put into WIPO treatries but not necessarily ratified or fully implemented in the domestic copyright law of other countries.
