UK Gov passes Instagram Act: All your pics belong to everyone now

"How so? Previously, and in most of the world today, ownership of your
creation is automatic, and legally considered to be an individual's
property. That's enshrined in the Berne Convention and other
international treaties, where it's considered to be a basic human
right. What this means in practice is that you can go after somebody
who exploits it without your permission - even if pursuing them is
cumbersome and expensive. The UK coalition government's new law
reverses this human right. When last year Instagram attempted to do
something similar, it met a furious backlash. But the Enterprise and
Regulatory Reform Act has sailed through without most amateurs or
semi-professionals even realising the consequences."
