Ask a lawyer. I don't think we have one here. 

Now that we are here, an other legal question. Does anyone know which 
law describes the rules of the Iranian Copyright law? I don't think it 
is mentioned in the constitution (I have read the constitution and IIRC 
it wasn't there) so it should be described in one of those subcategory 
laws.

Any hints or suggestions as to which Iranian law covers the copyright?

Cheers
