Since the iPhone is yet to launch in another country than North America, I don't think that's a big concern. But you can always find this information yourself by looking up online legal documentation regarding similar laws discussed in this topic. Your country's copyright law should be one to read or get a lawyer to read for you and check if there are any specific laws for mobile technology in general.

Quick sites for you:
www.lawcom.gov.uk/ - UK Law Commision
www.iuscomp.org/gla/ - German law archive (English)
www.loc.gov/law/guide/spain.html - Guide to law online: Spain (English)
www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=__+law&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
(replace "__" with your country)

Hope that helps!
