Awak3  User ID: 38796848  United States04/29/2013 01:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good thing I stopped using Facebook a year ago and never been attracted to these "social" picture/video websites.

| Switchblade User ID: 35433002  Canada04/29/2013 02:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP, a few years back there was an issue with Facebook using peoples images in their advertising, Facebook users World-Wide cried foul on them. Went to court under a class-action, courts favored Facebook stating that if you upload content to Facebook, Facebook has the right to use it for anything it like within reason. (i.e. Not for sale but can be used for their own promotion.) Right from the Get-go (Before Facebook bought them) Instagram was set up under Fair-Use, and Creative Commons. This is why you never see Photographers that sell work using it do to this policy. This does however create an issue sometimes with people that can't be bothered to read licence agreements. The fact of the matter is that all images uploaded to the internet very quickly become the whole worlds property and you are by far powerless to stop it. so my dear OP i strongly suggest you learn to read your license agreements before accepting them so you can make an educated decision of whether or not you will be using a service, so if that service decides to use your images for any other perpous than freely hosting them for you, you will have no one to blame but yourself. Unity is the great goal toward which humanity moves irresistibly. But it becomes fatal, destructive of the intelligence, the dignity, the well-being of individuals and peoples whenever it is formed without regard to liberty, either by violent means or under the authority of any theological, metaphysical, political, or even economic idea. That patriotism which tends toward unity without regard to liberty is an evil patriotism, always disastrous to the popular and real interests of the country it claims to exalt and serve. Often, without wishing to be so, it is a friend of reaction – an enemy of the revolution, i.e., the emancipation of nations and men. -Mikhail Bakunin- |

| Saddletramp User ID: 812002  Puerto Rico04/29/2013 02:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is the worst kind of bullshit. The court case by the Writers Guild against Google is still in court too, with Google trying to claim that they, by charging people to download books, and not giving any royalty to the authors, they are just acting as a library... But if you download and alter code from their website they will throw you under the prison... Biggest pile of horse shit in the world...

| Switchblade User ID: 35433002 Canada04/29/2013 03:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm almost positive this site has the same type of terms regarding uploading pics. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 37918806 I wouldn't at all be surprised, Most due. It has become industry standard. though Fair-Use almost always applies.
