A question: If I put some material on a website and publish it to the world (including US) by doing that, do I get copyright protection? Will it matter that I reside in Iran or not? Will it matter if the hosting machine is in Iran or not?
Several jurisdictions have interpreted "publication", in terms of legal coverage, to mean publishing, by a foreign national, on a foreign webserver, of documents. Admittedly, this is in the context of defamation not copyright law, but it may prove interesting.
