Rights to your photos being nicked by social networking andHave a look at the following linkIt seems that if you put images on Facebook and some others you are forfeiting your rights to your image !!!!!!! This article gives a good explanation - Flickr appears to be fine as you can set your privacy settings and copyright info on it. http://www.jmg-galleries.com/blog...ough-photo-contests-social-media/ |

Ouch, thanks Dave, I need to get my pictures off Facebook apart from a sample or two, though it's probably too late. Thanks again. | ||

Good luck trying - there was a case here recently where somebody tried to do exactly that.... they mightn't be visible to the general public once you remove them, but they still remain the propertly of Facebook..

It annoys the hell out of me, it's legal theft, but theft none the less. I knew about competitions and don't do them for that reason. I should have guessed with Facebook, after all it is was formed to provide recruitment information about US college students to businesses. I keep telling people to watch what they put up because it's so heavily monitored. I was on the other day and someone had put up pictures of themselves snorting coke, dumb, dumb, dumb. | ||
