"I'm very interested in hearing specifics!"
Sure you are. Just not interested enough to Google the specific case that was helpfully referenced in the comment you replied to.
That.. that is a US case.* I asked about places where there are stricter rules than the US, because I'm used to the US being the one pushing stronger copyright.
*And it was argued that the same result would have held in the UK.
Yes, the case is a US case. That's the point. It is a US case which has, in effect, granted people a degree of freedom not generally found elsewhere.
That is exactly what you asked for: a specific example of US law being more lenient than the law in other countries.
