It happens everywhere.Especially Facebook,anyone can right click on your photos and save them and do whatever they choose with them,unless your profile is private.I would be more concerned about that rather than a forum like this where we are all anonymous.
I would get upset if I saw a post of mine copied word for word elsewhere too,of course I would,but I would sure be careful what I do put out there from now on.I once was a member of an abuse survivor forum and I have seen my story elsewhere,not word for word,but the same story nonetheless.It was upsetting but made me realize to be careful what I share online.

Some of the different viewpoints on this may be generational. I tend to think the younger you are the more accepting you are of a lack of privacy, less concerned with intellectual property ownership etc. We may be silently and unwittingly giving these things away. Just a cautionary tale from this old lady
