"Chief executive for  the Recording  Industry Association of  America,
Hilary Rosen, is helping draft copyright legislation for the New Iraq,
according to investigative journalist Gregory Palast.

[...]

Under Iraqi copyright legislation, passed by The Revolution Leadership
Council in 1971, a  copyright lapses 25  years after the death of  the
author, but no more  then  fifty years  after  the publication of  the
work.  It's  shorter for private works,  and  there are several public
interest exemptions.

[...]

Iraq does  not have a  reciprocal copyright agreement with  the United
States, which means that US works are not protected."

ciao,
