Just FYI....

An infringement on your "copyrighted material" is only actionable if you can
show monetary loss from the "theft". Copy right law is not about some sort
of altruistic "ownership", it's really all about money. If you post
information without an attempt to earn from it, but others take your
publicly posted information and manage to profit, it's no more actionable
than a kid selling a bike that Santa gave him for Christmas.

Yes, I would have to show that I suffered damages (unless I registered
the copyright) in order to prevail in court, but that doesn't mean I
lose all rights to the material just by posting it.

Trust me on this one, okay?

No. OK?
