Introduction
International Copyright
A term known as “international copyright” safeguards a writer’s work all over the world. Depending on the national laws of a particular nation, protection is provided against unauthorized use in that nation. Nonetheless, many nations provide protection to foreign works under specific guidelines that have been considerably streamlined by international copyright conventions and treaties. To safeguard the creators and owners of works covered by foreign copyright and to provide protections that go beyond national borders, the International Copyright Order was created in 1999.
