If you want to get the same protection, you should be following the guideline upon such protection is based on. It's both, not either/or.

I'd have no beef with the ruling if, (and I repeat IF) the US was truly following the text of Berne in defining it copyrights. It doesn't, and it won't!
Is the fact that other aspects of US copyright law are unfair any reason to deny a simple reciprocity agreement such as this, which (IMHO) IS fair by anybody's standards?
