"Everyone from CNET to the BBC is freaking out today about Instagram's new terms of service. The new terms, they claim, allow Instagram to sell user's images. Users are understandably upset. Wired published a tutorial on how to download all of your Instagram photos and delete your account. But long-time Instagram users should think twice before pulling the trigger. The truth is that Instagram has always claimed full rights to your images, but has just re-worded their terms of service to make their intentions clearer." People should stop obsessing over individual service's privacy terms. There's a very simple rule on the internet that everyone ought to be aware of: the moment you put something on the web, it's no longer your property. Deal with it. Coincidentally: nobody cares about your stupid Instagram photos.

However someone's time and skill went into making the original loaf much like a photograph. Should they not be compensated for making it so.
I think a better question to ask is, if a replicator existed that could make infinite copies of his product for nothing, should he have bothered to make it in the first place, and then demanded to be compensated for each copy in existence?

Well depends what the original deal was if it was "We will pay you $x for each copy if you make the original" then yes he should be compensated.
