The devil may be in the details, but individuals and SMEs who see value in retaining their intellectual property rights are advised to read and understand the terms & conditions of the sites that host their content. You may have paid for those lovely wedding photos or pictures of your business, but if you post them online, you may no longer own them.

As Net-borne info increasingly becomes the norm, awareness of intellectual property rights becomes ever-more important. Users shouldn't go for the easiest option, just as they shouldn't go for the simplest passwords. This is the 21st century cyberworld we live in, and as we enjoy its conveniences, so too must we recognize the need to protect our private information, our security-information and our intellectual-property rights.
