So much for Austria's so called "neutrality".

[WhatsName]

How is the promise to never again participate in warfare compromised? Clearly participating in international criminal investigations is not a military act.

Nitpick: never is a strong word to use, the neutrality can be revoked by an act of parliment. See https://www.parlament.gv.at/fachinfos/rlw/Was-macht-die-oest...

Austria might be neutral on warfare and multi-national defense agreement (not a member of NATO) but I think that's a separate issue from copyright law. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_Neutrality

They may not be nato, but australia is part of the five eyes and the new submarine tech deal. Australia is very big on multi-national defense.

Austria != Australia

If it was actually about Australia, it'd be wholly and totally unsurprising - we don't defend our citizens. Ever.

Lol. Ive been awake too long.

That was Switzerland

Austria is also a neutral country.

[preisschild]

Not really. We are part of the EU and are a western country.

Neutrality is just something the Austrians tell themselves to make them "proud" of their country.
