2.6.5 Am I bound only by the copyright laws of the country which hosts my Internet account?
There has been no agreement on which country’s law should apply in this situation. However, most countries are signatories of the Berne Convention and the Universal Copyright Convention. Accordingly it is likely that the country which hosts your Internet account is party to these Conventions.  If so, the copyright of that country has reciprocal protection in the UK. 
So, you can not ignore the copyright laws of other countries.
