I need some suggestions as to how proved the ownership of content in case it is stolen using Web exclusively and that'd be the interest of every Webmaster publishing any content.
I mean I've plenty of content in form of images, pdf files, articles. Suppose I publish those articles - somebody else can then re-use it as one's own idea etc. Later it will be difficult to prove that it originally belonged to me( on a so and so date). We should be able to prove ownership in the courts( as against to Google)
Here is another related thread: Website content copied - How can I prove that I wrote it? .
Will it be ok to send those documents say in zip file using gmail to my other email accounts which I can use later to prove that those were with me during a time - assuming we can't change those sent dates in email accounts from reputed providers?
In the same way I can upload them in docstoc.com in pdf files, store them at any file sharing sites in zip, encrypted ( without divulging those urls).
Another idea is to make a video of documents and upload them in Facebook etc.
So I want to know if there are any better ideas!

One of the most popular ways is by using 3rd party, independent archiving service or any site storing parts of your content with original source provided.
Examples include:
Internet Archive wayback machine
Newsgathering services (assuming they store archive)
References to your website quoting parts of your content.
Storing documents in archives might be a solution, but keep in mind that date stamps can be falsified - including the gmail sent dates.
Alternative would be to hire a specialized company for managing your copyrights. Examples might include digiprove or surety.
One of the key and most valued method of proving ownership of a digital content is by storing all of the production versions so that in court you could show all the progress how your content was created. Something like a revision control system or simply: storing development versions of you content are kind of "ultimate proof" in court.
Keep in mind that any single file stored anywhere can be falsified.
But owning a documentation of a development, or integral parts of the content that never were displayed to the public - cannot. (That's one of the reasons why photographers always store RAW files and (nearly) never provide them to the clients - they are proofs of copyrights. Even if in modern day there are ways to falsify even RAWs)
