The first step is to help yourself.

Write a good article about copyright in Hungarian language.

http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerz%C5%91i_jog

Translate this article onto Hungarian Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_copyright_law

Write a good article about Hungarian copyright law, in both Hungarian
and English languages:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Copyright_law_by_country

> Okey does anyone have a copy of Hungarian law?

You can nearly always find a link at [[w:en:List of countries'
copyright length]]

http://www.wipo.int/clea/en/text_html.jsp?lang=en&id=2213

And the Hungarian language text for it is on Wikisource:

http://hu.wikisource.org/wiki/Szerz%C5%91i_jogi_t%C3%B6rv%C3%A9ny

(see also http://www.hpo.hu/jogforras/9976.html )

It would be useful if a free translation was created on English
Wikisource; red link here:
