Common law legislations also have piracy laws? I would rather say it's more of a western kind of affair, since a lot of countries in the east + africa (especially underdeveloped or that only recently developed) have yet to sign international treaties on enforcing piracy law.

Having the law is one thing, but of course most countries that aren't on western europe or North America barely enforce piracy laws. (For example look at the entirety of south america, where official huge bus companies will just play pirated movies on the screens)
