Help with cultural piracy..?

When there's cultural piracy between countries, how can one take action? Who's to turn to?

Update:

I mean, for example, country A is claiming one of country B's traditional dance as country A's

nothing to do with sharing.. :D

    A "cultural piracy" Mmmm, that's a new term! Well, I feel that our Falafel and Kebab have been stolen and claimed by all sorts of nations although we as Middle Easterners have evidently invented them and exported them to other countries as a result of immigration. So, yeas I feel very bad for people from Macedonia or even Turkey to claim that they have invented Falafel and Kebab; which I guess would call it a blatant cultural piracy.

    How one can take actin? Well, I keep telling people the truth that Falafel and Kebab are Middle Eastern food. That's about it, I can't do much. can I?!

    Thanks for the term; it's brilliant.

    First, if you are not an American, you need to turn off your computer and give it back.

    Second, are you wearing jeans? Give them back.

    Cultural piracy in a civilized world is called sharing. Get over.
