[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 195266, member: 9240"] I stopped posting photos other than iPhone snapshots on FB a long time ago, to my chagrin and that of my friends and family. I now post links to Flickr photos when I [I]really[/I]need to share something, and watermark everything. For me, FB served as a lifeline to friends and family all over the place when I was jetting back and forth across the country for work. It gave me a feeling of connectedness that would have been sorely missed. Now, it's a way to keep in touch with old friends. I don't use it the way I used to as a result of their evolution (de-evolution? evil-ution?), and it's a shame, but I get it. I'm more upset at the idea that the company so blatantly disregards personal copyrights than I am at the idea that some business associated with them would want to use my photo. I have yet to read the agreement, but I suspect it has more to do with using it in ways that tie the business site to FB and its users than it does with a snatch and grab of an image for any purpose at all, and I have far less an issue with that. But I'm not losing sleep either way. [/QUOTE]
