Jetpac is a spiffy new iPad app that sorts through photos posted to its site and tries to identify where the photos were taken. Once tagged, the photos can be viewed by others who want to see that location. So if you want to take a virtual tour of, say, Monument Valley, AZ, Jetpac can show you photos that others have taken.

So Jetpac doesn't exclusively own your photos, but they have the right to use them any way they want to.
It gets more interesting. Jetpac has a tie-in to Facebook. When you sign up for a Jetpac account, you give them the OK to search your photos on Facebook.
"If you are logged into both Jetpac and Facebook, when you use the Site's Facebook connection functions, we will link your Facebook account with your Jetpac account. When you use the Site's Facebook connection functions, you will be prompted to enter your Facebook credentials or to sign up for Facebook. By proceeding through any of these scenarios, you grant Jetpac permission to access your Facebook profile information and to use it in accordance with the Facebook terms of use and this Privacy Statement."
Jetpac will access the photos of folks who have "friended" you, too, in accordance with the Facebook permissions you've set. Since most people don't pay attention to who gets to see their Facebook photos, this opens up a whole universe of photos to tag and disseminate. But you won't mind if Jetpac serves up your photos, and gets rich doing it, right?
Jetpac has the typical disclaimers, saying its members should respect the copyrighted property of of others. Copyright holders bear the burden of discovering and reporting the inappropriate use of their work.
