All their talk of ownership leaves people feeling a bit used. But Terms of Service silently govern many of our interactions. What we need is a "Bill of Digital Rights" to help individuals own the interactions they are a part of. I wish Facebook would take this to heart.

This was long before digital photos and FB. She felt every person owned the copyright to their own face. While the ownership of the photo could be called into question, the Usage Rights belonged to every face in the picture. This seemed right to me. I own land, but there is a legal Right of Way which allows the farmer who's land can only be accessed thru mine to use it whether I like it or not. I am the sole owner, but have shared Usage Rights. I expect copyright laws to someday reflect something like this. I had an ex g/f who maintained she had veto power of ANY photo which included her face. This was long before digital photos and FB.
