What is the legality of a company copyrighting a picture that i uploaded onto facebook?
A picture that i uploaded onto facebook was used initially in a local paper (without permission) and then subsequently used in a national newspaper article online. This was fine as i understand the lax facebook privacy settings, but today in both the online and print version of said paper the picture was used again, except this time it had @'company's name' in the corner of the online edition.

I was wondering if anyone who knew about copyright law knew if this is legal for this local company to do? It was a picture taken on my camera and uploaded by me, yet they saw fit to copyright it.

Any clarification would be much appreciated.
