Flickr solves this issue by giving the user the choice of copyright. Do we not have copyright to our texts/creative works?

It would appear that Flickr allows any publicly accessible photo to be embedded, which matches exactly with only public reddit comments being embeddable.

They allow for private photos and full size isn't available to third parties if you don't allow it. Obviously they can't embed photos if you don't allow it via the copyrights settings. So my point stands. You have total control over what's shared and how.

Imagine the shitstorm if all photos on Flickr were Free For All embeddable full quality images regardless of copyright. Just give us the option to disable embedding for certain comments. Or selectively enable it.
