Hi,

This is my first post even though I've been lurking around this wonderful forum for a few weeks now.

I live in Canada. Knowing that MR's servers are in Canada, I'm assuming that I can download anything from this site without worrying about copyright violations.

But what happens when I travel to a country with different copyright rules? For example, I travel a lot to the US and of course I bring my PRS-505 with me. Am I violating copyright laws by carrying eBooks that may not yet be public domain in the US but are already PD in Canada?

Thanks.
