I agree, to some extent. There's really nothing you can do about it, and everyone should have figured that out by now.
Still, if I post a photo on a specific forum for my online friends to see, that should not make it public domain, but it usually does.
Then, I've had people take my photos that were posted to a site that says the photos are owned by the contributor and are not public domain take them anyway and use them on commercial web sites. There's not anything you can do about that either.
And I also resent certain sites that "host" personal "work product" of their contributors and then charge others for access to it. That's why my family tree is not on Ancestry.
I guess that I'm just a curmudgeon.
