Subject: question about the warning about rebroadcasting games

I copied this warning from the kasparov's site(I only changed their big letters
to small letters).

"The live rebroadcast of these games is exclusive to kasparovchess.com. this
transmission is deemed "time-sensitive information"  and any party
rebroadcasting these games while they are in progress will be prosecuted for
rights infringement. we appreciate your cooperation in making chess sponsorship
a viable enterprise and chess a succesful professional sport!"


I understand that they say that posting the games while they are in progress is
against the low.

I want to know if this warning is right for all the countries.
If it is not right for one country someone from that country can rebroadcast the
games and maybe I can watch them because I cannot watch them in
kasparovchess.com in a convenient way(I need to download first microsoft virtual
machine first and after one try that took almost an hour and after it the
download failed because I need to do update to windows I gave up).

My old computer with old operating system like windows95 is connected to the
internet and it may be the reason that I have problems to watch the games but I
had not problems to watch games on ICC so it is not only my system fault.
