Starting with the little dirty detail that copyright legislation and
the ways it's applied varies wildly across the world.

Even Ted Ts'o's quote above is something you'll mostly hear in the US
context, since the kinds of legal hot waters you may find yourself by
posing as a lawyer, giving legal advise as a non-layer or advising a
non-customer will vary in temperature by country. The US seems to be
particularly hot in that area :-)
