Are you seriously that stupid?

[Bram]

Alright sooooo I hope this doesn't turn into a rant buttt..... we'll see.

This message is directed to the people who are asking if they own copyrights to their images on FACEBOOK!

Are you seriously that stupid? If you own/run a photography business and you post your images on FACEBOOK you do NOT own the copyrights, all the images uploaded to facebook are free to SAVE TO MY PICTURES by anybody that pleases to do so. You do not own any copyrights, do you not read the fine print at the bottom of the page before uploading?
I'm sorry but come n people am I the only one that thinks these people are stupid for asking if they own copyrights to the photos they have uploaded to FACEBOOK?! Even photobucket.

haha... what's this all aboot?

You still own the photos Bram your just making it that much easier for people to steal them. Which is why you only load small res files. Facebook can be a very useful business tool. Your damned if you use it and your damned if you don't kind of mentality. I think that for small businesses to start out facebook is a great tool. Once you have built a great name and solid foundation for your business, the way you use facebook will change drastically.

 

[Bram]

Yeah you still have the original images and you own them. My thing is that people are complaining about others taking their images off facebook. DURP ofcourse that's going to happen, that's kind of what I was getting at.

 

[o hey tyler]

That's why if you really give a ****, you'll watermark your low res files on facebook.

It's facebook, you still own the files. What's preventing me from going to your flickr and downloading your images? What's preventing me from going to a protected Zenfolio page and finding the individual image links and downloading them via a resource manager?

There's hundreds of ways to pirate better quality images. I wouldn't be too concerned with facebook.

This rant occurs every week, I guess today you're the author. Next week someone else. If it gets beyond one page its a troll thread.
Nothing will change. Spill your guts if you have to. :er:

 

[LuckySe7en]

It amazes me as well. People will post anything and everything on facebook then complain when someone "lurks" their page. If you don't want lurkers, turn it to private. done.

 

[Bram]

I see your point o hey tyler, that's exactly my arguement.

@vtf: My apologies if you come across these every week, as you can see i'm not a troll soooo I don't really get your point there.

Talk about the pan calling the kettle black. None of what you state here is accurate.

Owning/running a business has nothing to do with copyright ownership.

Facebook's TOS is about use licensing, not copyright.

Lol, no that isn't your argument. Your argument is that you DON'T OWN THE COPYRIGHT after you upload the file... But you do.

How so? If you post your images, somebody else saves them and takes them. In no way can you sue them for stealing your photos due to the fact that you don't own them. You may have the originals but if they took them from facebook, nobody owns them, facebook does.

As stated before byt Bigtwinky:

IT IS BETTER TO BE SILENT AND THOUGHT OF A FOOL, THEN TO OPEN MY MOUTH AND REMOVE ALL DOUBT.

 

[o hey tyler]

Bram, be careful. The level of fail is reaching critical mass.
