No it's not just a USA issue. It affects the entire world.

Because the vast majority of computers and mobile devices in the world run an operating system that was developed in the US, and exposes API's that are copyright some Big US Corporation, Inc.

Do you know who owns the copyright to all the interfaces (API's) in the Standard C Library? What about the interfaces in <unistd.h>?

The SCOTUS ruling won't be confined to Java. It will apply everywhere.
