The Berne Convention Plot Twist
But here’s where it gets fun: While Reagan’s address is public domain in the United States, it may still enjoy copyright protection in Canada—thanks to the very international treaties trade wars tend to undermine.
Under the Berne Convention’s National Treatment rule, copyright protection depends on the law of the country where protection is claimed, not where the work originated. Under section 12 of Canada’s Copyright Act, government works are subject to Crown copyright, which is far more protective than 17 U.S.C. § 105. And under Berne, Canada would likely extend similar protection to foreign government works used in Canada, even if those works are public domain in the United States.
Indeed, Congress anticipated this paradox when passing the 1976 U.S. Copyright Act. The House Report on section 105 explains:
“The prohibition on copyright protection for United States Government works is not intended to have any effect on protection of these works abroad… There are no valid policy reasons for denying such protection to United States Government works in foreign countries.”
And here’s the kicker: Any foreign copyright wouldn’t belong to the Reagan Foundation—it would belong to the U.S. government itself
Which means any hypothetical copyright infringement lawsuit would have to be brought by the Trump administration. And get this: Trump’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio—the Cabinet official charged with maintaining diplomatic relations with foreign governments—also happens to be serving as Acting Archivist of the United States (the head of NARA), the official custodian of Reagan’s speeches.
So the U.S. government would be suing a Canadian province for quoting a Reagan speech criticizing the very tariffs the administration is now imposing on Canada.
