The law of USA perhaps, not of the world. No international copyright convention I know of requires such a law, and it indeed varies between countries.
I am under the impression that the Berne Convention, the Buenos Aires Convention of 1910, and numerous bilateral proclamations and treaties cover international aspects.
Correct. US � law provides for up to $150K damages per willful infringement; you'll be hard pressed to collect though unless the work is registered with the � office.
