Hello,

Just a note here that you may want to read. Please see excerpt below from Facebook.

Here’s the statement straight from Facebook’s website:

“You grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook ("IP License"). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.”

Translation: If you post your photos on Facebook, you give Facebook the rights to those photos. They can use them however they want, whenever they want, anywhere in the world they want… even if you delete your account. They can even sell them without your knowledge and there’s nothing you can do about it. Photos posted on Facebook are now Facebook property. Period.

So what does this mean for you as a photographer?

Well, for starters, it means that if you’re serious about making money from your photography, you should reconsider posting your best photos on Facebook.

General rule of thumb would be: Don’t post anything you wouldn’t want to give away for free, because that’s in essence exactly what you’re doing.

I ONLY POST SOME OF MY SIGNED WORK ON FB = SIGNED TO LESSON THE BORROWING A BIT

ALSO = I CONSIDER ALL MY STUFF PUBLIC SINCE IVE NEVER MADE ANY CASH ON THEM YET

IF SOMEONE WANT TO USE A PERSONS IMAGE OR IMAGES AND THOSE IMAGES ARE FOUND PUBLICLY commercial or none commercially - THEY WILL BE EVENTUALLY

to avoid theft ... DON'T SHARE!!!

NOT SHARING IS SELFISH IN MOST CASES

Expensive is relative. I do use quality bodies and glass.

Re: Earl...

I put tags on my professional photos that I put on Facebook for that reason, so that they'll always have my name on there anyway even if they do get sold etc!! I think the FB rule is stupiddd!! :(

I found the below paragraph on the Terms of Service for this site. Does it not mean the same thing that Facebook makes the users to agree to?

Does this paragraph below mean that if I upload a picture to this site, I loose all my exclusive rights to my own pictures and the site can sell, publish or even donate my pictures to anyone they want? I would be a little scared of this condition here.

"You agree that any photos or content that you upload to this site may also be uploaded to PictureCorrect.com by site owners and administrators. Any photos or content uploaded to this site may appear on the PictureCorrect.com website with credit or attribution given to the uploader of the content in most cases. To this end, as a member of this site, you hereby grant PictureCorrect, Inc. a nonexclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up, royalty-free right and license to use, store, access, cache, publicly perform and display any content or photos you upload to this site on or through PictureCorrect.com (www.picturecorrect.com), PictureSocial.com (www.picturesocial.com) and in all current and future media in which PictureCorrect, Inc. may choose to distribute content."

The Facebook wording above says "... transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license ...", the wording here speaks about the possibility of what you upload also appearing on an affiliated web page. The wording here also says "with credit or attribution given".

To be certain, you should probably take the wording from both sites to your favorite attorney for analysis.

A web page like this stores what you upload, hands it out to any web browser that asks for it, backs it up in case it has to be restored after an equipment failure, and in the case of this site, also displays your work through PictureCorrect.com and their emails, if your work is deemed worthy. Picture Correct sends emails with notes about photography and examples using the images uploaded here, which have your membership name and a link back to your gallery here. They also display the featured photographs from here.

The verbiage here just gives the site permission to do what you are asking it to do, save and display your images. It also covers them in the event you delete a file or files which have been copied elsewhere or backed up, and subsequently restored.
