Sorry it took me so long to reply. Honestly? I inevitably take my doubts to a copyright lawyer, but that can be pricey (yes I really have gone and paid one to explain the law to me before ,and I'll do it again lol). But that said, you can always just read the berne convention yourself. The problem is when it hits grey areas that it's difficult to really understand. And it's hard to research the subject because a LOT of people who really really REALLY want to break the law and have it be on their side, post up wrong information in order to try and get their way.
But start there, read the Berne Convention. This is the treaty between a LOT of countries that has what is and is not illegal across all of those signers in it. If you look on wikipedia they have a list of who's a part of it, and links to things like the treaty itself and so on. Start there.
