I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV.
Generally, ownership of the original negative indicates ownership of all
photos made from that negative, _Absent_ any other agreement, such as
Instagram's fine print. You may own/possess the negs, but it is possible
that a written notice might allow someone else to use the photo in any way
they want. You might be agreeing to that fine print just by uploading your
images to their site.
Also, if you created the negatives on someone else's time, your negs might
be considered "work for hire" and not your property. (Years ago, a local
photographer broke his foot. He called me in, I used his studio, his
equipment and materials, and he paid me an hourly rate. My work was most
definately work for hire, and his property. In this case, I felt well paid,
as it was a learning experience)
I suspect that Mr Daneliuk has been around the block enough times that he is
aware of copyright/ownership issues, but others here might not be as
knowledgable as he, and I throw this out for further discussion.

They have "retracted" that statement, saying (to effect) that the choice
of words was poor and that they had no intention of selling people's
photographs. Reading the original change to the data rights clause I have
little doubt that they did intend to grab some rights to people's
photographs; but the backlash and potential exodus of users was a bit
overwhelming so they've backpedaled. What's more disturbing is what this
reveals about their appraisal of the intelligence and savvy of their user
base.

None of this bothered me - they don't have my negatives....
