    Trying to get every country to do something is like trying to herd cats.

      basically every country that ‘“matters”’ implements some form of the DMCA

        An copyright law is pretty similar in every country, or at least has a version of it. Japan’s copyright law is so strict you can’t even mention brands in media and has no version of fair use. It’s why in Anime, when illuding to trademarks, it’ll be something like “Sany” or “Destiny”. This however, does not mean that I, in Scotland, am forbidden from making a video where I mention the words “Sony”, “Disney”, “Greggs”, and “Tesco”. Every country has different copyright laws and on the internet they seem to take a middle ground.

        Porn on the other hand is very different with very different laws and very different ideas. For example, Porn is illegal in South Korea. No “JAV” where genitals are blocked out, porn is straight up a crime. Where I live however, it is legal, albeit on the internet you have to go through an adult verification thing, which is easily bypassed. Each country does not have a universal standard law on pornography or what counts as such. There’s proposed laws in the US for example which could see the mention of queer people as counting as “pornography”. Not the depiction, just something like “Leonardo Da Vinci was gay”. That’s why people in the UK are worried because the law doesn’t just cover pornography and covers “sensitive content”, which, you know, could be defined at some point to include anything.
