Well, Gil, you may be right in your understanding and then again, you 
might not. The lawyer I talked with is my second son whose first job was 
with Butterworths, the text editors in Sydney. He now heads a department 
in the Australian Senate. He says that for all practical purposes in the 
sort of thing we're discussing here, copyright laws which place 
restrictions on copying beyond that 'reasonably' needed for research or 
personal purposes generally have global effect.
