No, I don’t think I do. Mostly because while dictatorships might have “strict laws”, they are typically left as vague and generally-applicable as possible, precisely so that they can be used in whichever way the dictator wants. Also, those

This is just pedantry. Would NYT be suing Adobe (the people who made the software), if one of their users utilized Photoshop to produce an image that violates copyright? I don’t think so.
