The question is far from simple or long-established with regard to works
that are intrinsically copied as part of their distribution, which includes
many literary and musical works.  WP has an excellent discussion of the
issues with many references to court cases.

Speaking of which, it's no use quoting statutes and treaties as if they
meant something.  In common-law countries, *meaning* exists not in the
words, but solely in the way judges interpret them.  This is most strongly
true in the U.S., where there is no notion analogous to the supremacy of
Parliament.
