Jurisdiction Question for the Forum:

If an American in the U.S. makes use of a cc-ca licensed work (from a Canadian website), will the fact that the licence reserves all moral rights have significance in the U.S. where there are no moral rights?

Does the jurisdiction clause force Americans using the licence to respect Canadian moral rights?

Jurisdiction clause:

The construction, validity and performance of this shall be governed by the laws in force in Canada.
