The basis of international copyright law as we know it today is the Berne Convention from 1886, to which the US finally signed... in 1988! There were earlier copyright agreements, but Berne is really the watershed in Europe. The United Nations has an department that deals solely with international copyright legislation: the WIPO, or World Intellectual Property Organization.
