Understand that Suz. But I was responding to Koen's note and he is in
Belgium. My point is that people should make sure to check their rights or
lack of them under their own jurisdiction and not assume that it will
necessarily be the same as the US. As I said, a large part of the world
takes its legal precedents from British law (Canada too, I'd guess?) and
that often differs markedly from those that take their precedents from the
US (which includes many Asian countries).
