The concept `public domain' does not exist in many parts of Europe.
You can not not (double negation) have copyright to your work. If the
author is not known it is usually the one that published the work that
gets the copyright.

Well, I agree that Europe is quite multi-cultured, but many of the
countries share the same traditions. Some times these traditions go
way back to the Roman empire. The US, being a rather young nation :-),
does not in all cases share this inheritage.

When I write Europe, I mean Europe in a cultural and not a geographic
sense. I might have been more clear about this.
