Actually, the core of this country's copyright legalese is entirely based on international IP agreements, like TRIPs (which I did brought up earlier in this thread, IIRC).
They're not a minor topic, because this new IP Czar has attacked international sites directly, even ones that were declared legal in their respective countries (ie: RojaDirecta). This new IP office also assigns new IP attaches to US embassies abroad, so international enforcement is certainly a core issue, and another waste of money (IMO).
