Hmmmm.  How does one go about copyrighting everything before they post it???  Talk about labor intensive!!!  What does "ownership" rights imply at that point???

  If it’s not copyrighted content, EVERYONE has legal right to take it and re-use it, though not “ownership” rights.

  Does anyone know if there is such a thing as "intellectual property" laws regarding postings online?  For example, since I am using TrailJournals.com  to document my hike, does that give the site owners legal rights to what I post there?  If I were (doubtful, but wondering) to write a book later and use those same postings, could I be held liable by the site owners for using my OWN entries in that book?  Maybe Postholer can answer this?
