Re: Re: facebook totally strip metadata from uploaded pics
From: Jens I have read, that whenever you submit an image to Facebook, you give up all rights to yopur photo. It now belongs 100 % to Facebook. So, I don't submit phographjs to Facebook unless they are nearly useless. I don't think it works quite that way. You retain the rights, and Facebook won't take your image for their own uses. But they won't do anything to keep third parties from misappropriating your image, and apparently they strip out the metadata including copyright information. Their Terms of Service just keep you from suing them if some third party misappropriates your image from their site. You can always put a copyright or watermark in the image itself. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Someone pulls your image off one of the sites without your permission, someone else takes it from them ... and pretty soon anyone can take use your image for commercial purposes without compensating you. It's already happened; some teenage girl's myspace photo ended up being used by an Australian cell phone company for their ad campaign. That was a different issue: The photographer himself put the photo on Flickr and gave it Creative Commons *commercial* licensing (without understanding what this meant). And the idiots at the ad agency forgot the difference between clearing copyright and ensuring they had model releases. CC only covers you on copyright. The Photog in that case was mildly silly, the ad agency was just frikkin stupid for not realizing they needed model releases for CC images from Flickr just like any other image they might use with a identifiable individual. -- M.

Thanks Mark This makes me feel a little better :-) Regards Jens -- Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.

It now belongs 100 % to Facebook. Wrong. Facebook gets the right to use the image for promoting Facebook. And only as long as you have the image *on* Facebook. As soon as you remove it, they lose these rights. Pretty reasonable for a free service. A few months ago they tried to change their TOS to allow them to use your image (including for purposes beyond promotion and advertising) even after you took it down, but there was such an outcry that they backed down very quickly. This incident is probably at the root of the you give up all rights urban legend. Even that overzealous TOS didn't make the photographer give up all rights (the photographer could still copy, sell, modify, license the image). Also, if your photos on Facebook have recognizable people in them, Facebook would still have to get a model release. See the Flickr/Virgin Mobile fiasco already mentioned in this thread :) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
