MODERATORS
The EFF is an American non-profit, that's their area of expertise.
However, most of this article is about the DMCA. The DMCA is the US's implementation of the World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty of 1996. A treaty which has been signed by 110 countries, all of which are required to pass their own version of the DMCA. Though some specifics may change, instances hosted in most countries will have to comply with the DMCA or very similar legislation.
