Who legally owns the content that we post on AnswerBag.com? . . . If I post a poem or song that I wrote, does Demand Media now own the copyright or usage of those words? Or can the public now use them any which way at all?

Even for financial gain? Can any company use the words, in a movie or a commercial for instance, to create income from what I've published here, without my permission?
