But Chuck,
Not being a signatory of the Convention doesn't make Iran bad, or the
website bad. I think that an approach to the webmaster to request that
adequate attribution and a statement external to the document be
inserted that it belongs to Evan just might protect him - though once
released into the wild, any document can no longer be protected (see a
comment I made yesterday).
And I didn't say that Iran or its citizens were bad. I merely stated
that it was not a signatory to any IP convention and did not have a
legal structure that gave foreigners standing in IP matters. So
Evan's legal remedies are pretty much non-existent.
Evan can requrest away, but the website owner has no legal obligation
to respect his wishes.
Cheers,
Chuck
