so last time i checked
when you upload a photo, the original is not shown, but a much lower quality version, presumably to keep the size down, so i wanna know if ownership applies to the original or to the one that's actualy shown

Resizing does not change the image
so unless the image is resized so much as to no longer resemble the original, then the copyright exists for both images as a single entity. Bizarrely, there is an actual percentage figure of how different an image must be before it is no longer protected by the original copyright. Feck knows how they decide that though.
In another bizarre copyright/IP mess, if you were to make a painting of a celebrity that is too lifelike, then you would not be allowed to sell it because it would violate the trademark they have on their likeness.
Crazy, crazy world.
