I can´t remember where I read that, but it must have been more than once.
If I understand that correctly, international means everywhere on earth, including Canada.
The copyright laws don't work in some countries at all actually. Just because it's called international doesn't mean there is legislature in every single country supporting it.

As for Canada and/or places like Japan sharing private information such as computer data from a CD-rom is not illigal. Distribution of illigal disks is of course, and that's what that copyright law entails.
