All members of the World Trade Organization are required to have copyright laws based on the Berne Convention, and to recognize the rights of creators of other member states. There are a few countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia that aren't members of the WTO or signatories to Berne, but the majority of the world does have laws written to protect intellectual property.
