This is so completely wrong I have to comment :-)
In most countrise including the US, if you make an image, (unless it's done
for an employer as part of your work), you own the copyright automatically.
Posting it on brickshelf makes no difference, you still own the copyright -
and in fact every Brickshelf page says at the bottom "All Gallery content is
property of the uploader, unless otherwise stated. Everything else ©2002
Brickshelf L.L.C. " .
Lego doesn't own Brickshelf.

It happens regularly that people post pictures of models to the Builder's
Gallery or contests on lego.com, which are not in fact their models but
stolen from other pople's sites.

Not unless you specifically say that you release them to the public domain.
Legally, they are still your property.

Free doesn't have anything to do with copyright or ownership.
