Hmm, if I remember correctly the posts I saw from both persons (but again, may not be the full exchange), the trick may have been also in the wording used.
As far as I can recall, at least in one message I saw someone (maybe you ?) indicated an absolute illegality about sharing it without geographic limitations, thus everywhere in the World, not in terms of the sexual content, but of the sharing itself.
The "various countries" you refer to here is correct, since "various" is generic and is not the same as indicating at once the whole World.
But for some countries, one should analyse better some details before claiming certain types of protections apply to the specific case.
Copyright for artistic content is one thing, software licensing and software copyright another, not all the countries enforce both in the same way and with the same perspective.
Overall, even if one looks at it from a more formal point of view, it seems Zorlun is taking the most sensible approach by not making it a matter of "I will sue you"
or "I will go to the feds", and tackling it in a different way.
There can be even countries where certain form of protection are almost non existing, or anyway at maximum linked to a private initiative by the copyright owner in a civil context - some twenty years ago in the center of Kiev there were entire stalls at the market with CDs and DVDs with software, because they had the skills, poverty, but also the laws on the subject were less strict that in most Western Europe countries.
