What's your conclusions, Nihat? I'm too tired to analyse it all...

Rob, I too am tired of the endless human tragedy of "transfer of wealth" in different forms.
My approach is to expressively watermark my work with my name (it's sad that I have to do this). And send the violators a couple of Corleone brothers with a horse head.
Seriously speaking, Google+ probably. Yet, in doing business with them we accept these terms -
Your Content in our Services
Some of our Services allow you to submit content. You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours.
When you upload or otherwise submit content to our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This license continues even if you stop using our Services (for example, for a business listing you have added to Google Maps).
A lot of grey areas. One may feel like Cherokee Nation in the digital realm.

Digital empires. 
Maybe we should work with numbers other than 1 and 0.
