Check the privacy settings on Facebook. They've recently changed, allowing people and photo's to be accessed via google which might validate this. From my own freelance experience, every photo used in news has to be sourced (i.e. in the photo caption, a url to the source and a name mention of the initial photographer), but that might not apply to photo's you've uploaded to Facebook.

Actually, as the originator of the photo you have the intellectual copyright, but you need to prove it. Post images with a watermark, say it is your image. Did you take it with a camera that imprints metadata?
Having said all this, you need to be careful what you photograph and permissions. Photographing people, private property etc. requires you to get signed release forms and such like. Photographing an organised event (like a football match) also require prior permission... so you could claim off the person that used your image without prior permission, but others could be claiming from you, including the clubs, the Football League, sponsors, players and anybody else in the picture.

Just following on from OS's post, J, the other thing you'll need to consider is: even if someone has breached your IP rights, what is your loss? If you aren't a professional photographer or someone who makes money from selling photos, it might be pretty difficult for you to show that you've actually suffered financial loss resulting from the breach of your IP rights.

Just to let you know, the picture has found it's way onto Wikimedia Commons, which is a website popular with Freelance Journalists as it has a huge database of sports photos that are free to use as long as they're sourced by the user.
The "author" is listed as Tubes44 but it has metadata listed on there as well. Camera model used was a Kodak Easyshare M863, taken at 16:54 on 21 February 2009. It's been released to use in the public domain to be used without any conditions.
Page is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Southend_Players_taunt_colchester_fans_.jpg if it helps.

Our MTBD pics were all put up on Wikipedia not long after the event last year. Presumably gleaned from here although some were also on FB. If you post it publicly then I think it's a consequence of the way things are these days.
