Re: information regarding copyright of photographs in other countries

[Kevin Hawkins <kevin.s.hawkins@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I need to correct myself on this.  A US national receives copyright 
protection to works first published, even if the works are published 
abroad.  Do keep in mind that the country where the publication occurs 
will likely also extends its copyright protection, and if the creator 
turns over his or her rights to a publisher, US protection will likely 
no longer be enforceable.
