Is that universal or just a USA thing?


There are almost certainly going to be some exceptions, but copyright law is largely consistent in the broad brush strokes at least, among a large portion of the world's nations.

Not just the Berne Convention. TRIPS brought automatic copyright to WTO members as well, so it’s true of almost every country in the world.


TIL. There are apparently more Berne Convention signatories than WTO members, though, so I guess the former still has more reach, but I assume the intersection isn't empty, so of course TRIPS must have had some impact as well.
