This has been a problem with many 'social media' sites but also includes Google and Facebook in particular. Reading many of the EULAs and privacy statements and / or agreeing to use the site can take your believed copyright away immediately. One way of course is to watermark the photo although that is easily photoshopped out. Anything you upload to the internet becomes open to abuse. It is really so easy to attribute or credit the source but few bother to abide by that even basic common decency. It will not be resolved anytime soon. It's a case of the old 'click to buy' 'click to abide by the T&Cs' which many don't bother to read....and I'm not surprised really because w beeve the 'site' is open and honest. But in effect, if you 'share' something, your rights are immediately taken away!! Some more info on Creative Commons Licenses: creativecommons.org/licenses/creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_Commons#License_misuseJust to confuse!!

Thanks Mike. Of course I did know this, but others might not realise. Which is why I posted it.
