You are both correct.
In fact, allow me to take the liberty to add the unfortunate caveat that if you post content on the Internet in any way, shape or form, expect for it to be pilfered — regardless of the rules, laws or moral fortitude.
The most effective way for that not to happen is to not post content to the Internet in the first place.
