In reality, copyright laws exist on a territorial basis and remain effective in limited jurisdiction. Protection against illicit utilization of work in a nation will depend on the national law of that nation. But, international copyright treaties &amp; conventions have simplified the process of according protection to overseas workers. This enables creators in different nations to access exclusive rights over their work of art worldwide.
