Can you quote me Berne on that one - it seems strange because copyright is an unregistered right. USA as one of the last countries to accede to Berne retains some registration systems as a way for rights holders to get access to greater fines in court. But this is not a widespread system.

Do you mean the country of origination of the copied work?




Yes it is origination. Your are correct that registering is an outdated concept and Berne actually insist on automatic copyright in the origin country.
