    Just a polite reminder to the US Orchidians not to assume that US
    copyright laws govern the entire world.  Every country has thier own
    copyright laws, and while many countries (I think over 190)
    recognize the US copyright rules for entities in their countries who
    violate the US copyright laws, the copyright rules for Orchidians as
    the original artists living in other countries are quite different.

    The original poster of this thread lives in Ireland.  The Irish
    copyright law were revised in 2000, the text of that law is 205
    pages long,  and can be found at
    http://www.gov.ie/bills28/acts/2000/a2800.pdf.  Therefore much of
    the advice that has been given is COMPLETELY INACCURATE AND
    IRRELEVANT.  She needs to either contact an attorney, the Copyright
    Association of Ireland (www.cai.ie) or the Patents Office in
    Kilkenny (phone +353 56 7720111)
