   	Many are already overseas.   
   	I imagine that the publishers with some level of assistance   
   from the State Department invoked by contributions to successful   
   political office holders will seek to have the Government of those   
   nations live up to the treaties on mutual enforcement of copyright.   
      
   	How successful they will be in this economic downturn is   
   questionable because there are further nations to site servers in   
   and anyone that cracks down is likely to wish they spent   
   their money on more useful forms of enforcement.
