WARNING: Instagram says it now has the right to sell your photos - Facebook owns instagram

teenage tards who mainly use this shite dont care who owns what .

This is a stupid comment. Many technically 'perfect' images taken by professionals specifically for stock use never find a buyer. Conversely, many 'snapshots' are just what is needed for certain advertisements or editorials - it depends entirely on what the producer is wanting.

It's also perfectly simple to upload a (c) print either embedded within the file or shown physically on the picture which removes all doubt of copyright ownership.

I suspect this copyright infringement is only going to be a issue to 'retro' types who take pictures of anything and everything on their smart-phones and instantly upload them to these sites without any pre-editing. If you're that serious about photography then you put as much time into processing than you do preparing for the picture.

Hope so.

I was under the impression that whomever took the photo owns the rights and can do what they want with a pic even if it's a bad pic of someone the photographer doesn't like. Nefarious things could happen to the person in the photo and this can osculate it.
