That's false. For example, until the law was changed, copyright law
forbade the importation for sale into the U.S. of English-language
books published in other countries besides Canada. So a traveler
who went to England, purchased a book, and brought it home would be
in the same end position as a purchaser who bought an illegally
imported copy, but the illegal importer would still have been liable
for copyright violation.
