It seems to be legal anyway.<p>Ultimately, laws require money to enforce and after people forget about the laws they find other uses for the money.  International law is especially fuzzy in that it&#x27;s not like there are judges, a court, and a jail for violators.  If two countries violate each others&#x27; treaties, all they can do is penalize each other somewhere else, or start blowing each other up.  Is someone going to bomb one of the three nuclear triad nations over enforcing copyright law?  Probably not.  So there is no international law that applies to the US, Russia, or China.
