Hello Matt,
I personally cannot apply for US jails, as US law does not apply to
me. If some administrative work shall be done because of US laws, then
the work shall only be done by those under US law.
Some years ago I wanted to contribute 10 lines to GNU. I was told to
print, sign, scan and send per email a document. After the second try
I was told that the scan is still not crystal clear. I have not done a
third iteration.
A possible escape is to declare that each phonorecord of Cyrus Sasl
has zero dollar retail value.
In the above quote of the law, a phonorecord is a sound recording or
similar.
As to stating that the copyrighted material has a zero dollar value
you'd need to get agreement from _all_ current copyright holders and/or
a judgement by a court of law (which would probably be reticent to make
such a statement due to the common law doctrine of equity). So for all
authors to state the value of their contribution is zero has in effect a
very similar administrative burden. One other out would be a covenant by
the authors, but this in effect is the same as the proposed IPR. So the
easiest, and unsurprisingly the most common, way to do this is with an
IPR which is what is being proposed.
The original copyright holder for Cyrus is Carnegie Mellon University,
so according to the Berne Convention and the provisions for "country of
origin" US copyright law would hold primacy.
