What impact will this have in the US?

Don't think it does anything. Berne means that anything
copyrighted in a signatory nation (basically, created, as it
recognizes copyright existing upon finalization) is protected
automatically in all other signatory nations. However, it is
protected in each nation according to that nation's laws, so
something made in the US has the same protections in the UK as
something made in the UK.

There are a number of important UN conventions that the US has not signed up to. Perhaps the UN might like to propose moving its HQ away from NYC... :)

Excellent idea! How about moving to Liechtenstein?

The U.S. went to some pains to prove that Microsoft had/has an unfair advantage
in the marketplace, due to its influence on computing infrastructure.

The E.U. can always say that the U.S. has unclean hands or whatever.

IANAL, but I watch actors play lawyers on high-definition television.
Thanks to our hosts and the legal experts that make Groklaw great.
