In the US, the law itself consists of about half a page spelling out the exclusive rights of the creator of a work, and 86 pages of limitations, defenses, and exceptions to those rights--that's a lot of wiggle room!
The strictness comes more in how the law is interpreted and applied, which has never been consistent. There are many countries you might think of as lenient--even encouraging--to infringers, that have nearly exactly the same laws as the US, just not as intently enforced.
