Maybe it could, maybe it can't. You'd get a better quality of debate if
you posted the question on a legal forum.

Neither can I, to be honest. But that's mainly because I'm not
interested in the minutiae of a foreign country's somewhat arcane
copyright statutes.
Like I said, you'd be better posting the question on a USA legal forum,
not gnu.misc.discuss.
