No, it only applied (until below) to each political/legal unit.

Note: it's called the "Berne *Convention" *not* the Berne Act. An act is
not a law of course either.
BTW it *isn't* US law in any manner. It's an international agreement
naturally.
My bet however is that it's a scam to get money for nothing (and their
chicks for free <g>)

I know I had two or three people email me just after the show went off
the air to see if these sites were legit -- at least one had their
credit card number stolen through them, too.

I'll believe it when I see them available on amazon.com! Until then,
BEWARE!! If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!!!

I was just looking to see what all is out there series wise when I
came across those products and sites. I didn't intend to make a
purchase from them since I don't buy from unknown companies, so I
didn't investigate their legitimacy. However, after this was brought
to my attention, I ran the names through the BBB website and I see
that one place if unknown, and the other has had nemours negative
complaints. It's also obvious just from the layout and design of the
sites that they are one in the same.
Too bad the complete series of the Red Green show isn't available on
dvd. I would imagine there is a demand for them, since any true Red
Green fan would jump at the chance to have them. I would love to have
the entire series, because with fifteen years of shows, I'm sure
there's many I've never seen. Hopefully one day I will see them grace
the shelves of Borders.
