Facebook Grabs

Are you using Facebook for promoting your photography? At least 2 photographers, that I know, are using Facebook to promote their photography business by posting regularly new photos. The only problem is that they've never read the terms of use: Facebook terms of use. In case they change their terms of use, here they are:

By posting User Content to any part of the Site, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to the Company an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute such User Content for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, on or in connection with the Site or the promotion thereof, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such User Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing.

The bold emphasis is mine. In plain English, by posting any of your photos on Facebook, you gave Facebook all rights to do whatever they want to do with your photos, including reselling your photos.

Now contrast that with the "proprietary rights in site content":

No Site Content may be modified, copied, distributed, framed, reproduced, republished, downloaded, scraped, displayed, posted, transmitted, or sold in any form or by any means, in whole or in part, without the Company's prior written permission

Can you afford to deal with Facebook?
