Exactly Larry, so does this mean that a person in Australia needs to study
the US copyright laws before uploading a video to a web site based in

procedures are different to those in the USA. Would an Australian filmmaker
need to get copyright approval in the USA, rather than Australia, for videos
uploaded to Youtube?
