Answer 1

C. U.S. copyright laws do not necessarily apply globally.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason for this is the inability to enforce the law

. For example, let's say that you are violating the copy right low in united States. In such situation, the police department in united states can force you to court and fine you for your violation.

If the one that violate the copyright live in another country (Let's say China). The police department in united states do not have the authority/jurisdiction to arrest and fine Chinese citizens.

The only way this barrier of enforcement can be passed is if the two nations made an explicit argument to allow police department to arrest violators in each other's country.
