Indeed.  But are the Berne countries supposed to recognize our *non*-copyrights?
The U.S. as an act of sovereign dominion prevents a U.S. entity, namely
itself, from receiving copyright protection within its sovereign domain.
Will other countries treat the work as copyright in their domains nevertheless,
especially if the U.S. claims that it is?
