Does copyright law apply in the country you incorporate in or the country you release in?

Question

I've heard Canada has a shorter copyright term than the United States, there are some works that are in the public domain in Canada, but not the United States.

Is it legal for a company incorporated in the United States to produce a derivative work or reproduction based on one of these works as long as they only make it available in Canada?

Answers: 0 public & 0 private
