This is not true, actually. Even if it were a copyright with legal weight, it would still be the property of the site, and not you personally. If you can't see the importance of that, you should go do some research on copyright law.
It is granted automatically to the creater of that property, and as you are not the direct creater it is not nearly that simple.
In order:
Of course not. However, copyright can be reassigned if the person expressly agrees.
Except that I definitely completely owned the site from the moment that Tom P (and possibly Craig V) was demoted. (Oh, and before anyone says anything, my self-demotion didn't count as it was only for appearance - I could obviously do whatever I wanted to the site since I had backend access to it.)
See above.
