Photo Hijacking

Among the many problems we have to deal with in the world of technology such as hackers, scammers, predators, phishers, script kiddies, etc - there is something new to worry about. What if your electronic photos are hijacked from your social networking accounts and used for commercial purposes in other countries? What is your recourse?

I know that is happening. There is not much you can do about it. There should be laws, but there also need to be enforcement. We are in digital age.

More or less, this is happening every where in exception of US (I think). So there should be international laws to protect, but how are you going to findout?
