Apparently this would not be limited by political boundaries:

From
http://capwiz.com/illustratorspartnership/issues/bills/?billid=11320236:

"Because an unmarked picture cannot be sourced or dated, works by artists
outside the U.S. will be as vulnerable to infringement in the U.S. as work
by domestic artists."
