Yes. For example, copyright to a song can be owned by the person who wrote the music AND the person who wrote the words. Then, based on the agreements each of these people made with their publishers, the same song may be administered by one company in North America, and a different company in every other country.
However, you see in that example that the rightsholder stays the same, and only the administrator changes: there would not be a situation where the rightsholder would vary from country to country.
I think you're asking what the penalty is for copyright infringement. It varies from country to country; in the US, statutory fines range from $750 to $30,000.
If you want to obtain copyright protection for your work in another country, you may need to comply with the copyright laws of that specific country. You should consult with an intellectual property attorney or do thorough research on the copyright laws of that country to ensure that you follow the necessary procedures to obtain copyright protection. Additionally, it is generally a good practice to register your copyright with the copyright office in each country where you seek protection.

This question's premises are incorrect. There are 5 types of copyright law:1. Synchronization2. Foreign3. Performance4. Mechanical5. Visual---There's really only one type of copyright law in each country, but different types of works are often handled somewhat differently. In some countries, for example, the duration of protection on films is shorter than most other works. In others, corporate works (such as works created by a symphony orchestra rather than a single person) have a different duration of protection.
A copyright is granted to the person that created it. A user name is not considered a proper identification of a person. You will have to use your legal name to register the copyright.
It varies from country to country. In the US, corporate works are protected for 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter.
Nothing will happen to a person who breaches copyright law unless the holder of the copyright chooses to sue the violator. The lawsuit court settlement will determine the monetary damagesowed to the copyright holder (if any).
An immigrant is a person from a different country who seeks refuge in another country.
Yes.
Using a person is questionable at any time. In addition, a copyright notice is not required for protection.
