Really confused[edit]

@Aymatth2: The CRT/US says that "U.S. copyright law applies in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands, but does not apply in American Samoa." But on this page: "It seems reasonable to assume that this includes copyright laws." which one is correct, if later then according to what Act? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 04:09, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Liuxinyu970226: Good catch. When I started this stub I just assumed American Samoa was the same as all the other territories. I dug around a bit and have added some sources, but cannot find anything specific on copyright laws. The population is about 55,000. It is quite possible that the territory has the right to define its own copyright laws but has not got round to it. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:06, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
