This is open for debate, as I heard recently on Public Radio. The question is "who owns material posted on the internet." I am not an expert in this field, but my guess would be that the privacy would be waived by making a posting on the internet. Now, if someone takes that material and uses it without the permission of the person who posted it, I think it is much like plagarizing portions of a book without crediting the author.
