There was a thread about copyright a while back but basically international copyright law stems from the Berne convention.
The DCMA came much later "in response" to the changing climate that readily available technology created. It is technically a US only law but there are some interesting things that can allow US law to apply across borders (parties are US based and whatnot).
The US has also requested countries take up similar laws as part of trade agreements and the like, some said OK, some made a nod towards it and some said get lost.
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071...witzerland.html and http://search.theregister.co.uk/?q=DMCA&am...te=&psite=0 is a reasonable start and will lead you to other stories.
