It might not, or it might. Some countries combine no-stat-requirement, copyright-at-birth provisions with better protections for formal copyright assertions. But I think faith and credit is certainly more workable than applying in each jurisdiction or having one gargantuan central office. [/quote]
I really don't see how (especially hardline natsovers) nations would give each other full faith and credit in anything. In any case, they can work it out themselves.

Many CD-ROMs require some sort of system files to be installed on a host computer. All these would be illegal if mounted, and would be useless (except for pretty decorations) if left unmounted.[/quote]
I don't think it would be too much of a problem to say that if a CD installs something on your computer, it implies that you have permission to do so. You could define that in national law.
