Does that make it my data? If not why? What makes these 1s and 0s uniquely yours?
If you care about privacy don't post private stuff online.
The fact that makes it your data is that you physically can share it with someone else.
At least that's the value system I live by and I believe should be in place for all because it perfectly reflects the reality of what happens with ones and zeroes.
Tangential but, if a nonhuman takes the photo, that makes it public domain, right? (In this case a monkey, or maybe in the case of a robot?)
Or is it different if there's a human in the photo?

If you’re going to argue data ownership at all, it seems to me the creator of the data is the owner, unless transfer ownership to another person or to the public domain.
On the other hand, I can understand a stand that data can never be “owned”, but I don’t think you are saying that.
If I’m not giving money to the creators, why should I give any to the thieves?
Either pirate for free, or pay the creators.
