And such a safe-harbor/re-registration system should be a VERY limited
time. I'd vote for 90 days myself, which is longer than most time
limits in many legal procedures, but I'd be okay with 180 days.
I was thinking in terms of a couple of years, but there's no good reason why
it shouldn't be within 180 days- it's not as if it's real hard to register.
That would violate the Berne convention, as the treaty prohibits requiring any kind of formality to establish or retain copyright on the general principal that copyright should not be lost accidentally or due to ignorance of a specific legal system. There are considerable practical advantages in having a consistent international legal framework that protects your copyright in foreign states and after a century this has largely been achieved.
