Also, IP laws are a big issue worldwide. Jordon is a member of the WTO. As far as I know, in order to be a full member of the WTO, a country's laws must comply with certain international standards.

I am a photographer and hate to hear about this sort of thing happening...suing the YP may be a route to go however you may be better served by asking for photo credit in future editions....you never know they may request to use some of your other photos and provide some sort of financial compensation...if nothing else your blog may enjoy some really cool exposure.I have found through previous encounters with corporate monsters when it comes to issues such as these, "He with the deepest pockets ususally wins". You may wish to add a watermark to your photos...at least it will make the theft a little more difficult. I am a novice blogger and will ensure I do the same with my photos. I truly enjoy reading your blog, in my opinion it provides fresh insight to your side of the world. Keep making and sharing those wonderful images.All the best to you.Patrick Hickey, www.pathickeytravels.com www.LasVegasVR.comme@pathickeytravels.com Hello Roba,
