I think you are terribly mistaken.
 
The US is a signatory of the Berne Convention and has ratified it, plus there are other implications when going "international" ... copyright on texts which I wrote, having been published in National Geographic, was never honoured. That's how it works ... copyright ... reproduction rights ... intellectual property rights ... It's way more complicated than googling a website.
 
It's like George Patton and Lee Iacocca once said ... "either lead, follow or get out of the way". Citing why things cannot be done, is not a good example.
