Looking at the diaspora website under ownership it says

You own your pictures, and you shouldn?t have to give that up just to share them. You maintain ownership of everything you share on Diaspora, giving you full control over how it's distributed.

does this imply that a photo uploaded to somewhere like facebook then becomes the ownership of facebook or something, can someone explain further please.
Yup - facebook claim ownership of it.

what happens if its released under a creative commons share alike attribute license with this clearly stated on a cd lable (copied rugby photos to dvd adn stuck a lable with the creative commons logo to the cd, also included the appropriate license as a file on the cd. if a p hoto is then uploaded to somewhere like facebook how does that affect the cc license.
Well then YOU are illegally attempting to transfer copyright you don?t own to someone else. The copyright does not transfer. Unless you upload things you own in which case you transfer it to Facebook.

thanksl it may help me, if i need to make it explicit and say these photos CANNOT be uploaded to facebook due to . or should i do this anyway.

The creative commons license should be enough - I don?t know if its been tried in a court case...
IANAL

ok so if someone from the rugby club for example does upload something i can tell them to remove it.

You can ask them to remove it, then you can ask Facebook to remove them from their archive, telling them that the person who posted them had not right to upload them in the first place.

Whether the original uploader or facebook do anything is up to them, and your choices are somewhat limited at that point. (And can become expensive)
