Leading on from the lecture on online privacy & social networking....
Who owns the content you put on the internet on various sites?
Well the website does. You are uploading your content onto their website. They can use it and distribute how they please. It most likely would be on their terms and conditions, that these days nobody reads.
This includes pictures, video, text, etc?
Yeah, I mean it is their website. They have the right to take down anything they don't like one there as well.

Think about all the content you upload onto social networking sites - Do you own it?
No. They do. They own the pictures that you decided to upload. You may have taken the photo and may have copyright to taking the picture, but you don't actually own the picture.
Who has the right to use your creations?
The company or owner of the website does, as you have uploaded your information, photos, creations onto their website.
This is an example of an enraged person who has discovered that Facebook has specified in the Terms and Conditions that once uploaded, the photos then belong to them.
