So because someone like lady gaga post a pic on facebook, she gives up the rights to the picture?
I can then take the picture, put it on a tee-shirt and sell the shirt?
Wow, just wow. Where did you come up with that?
She doesn't give up any rights to use the picture. Other people GAIN rights to use the picture. She can still sell all the shirts she wants, but other people can use the picture as well because she posted it publicly on Facebook.So because someone like lady gaga post a pic on facebook, she gives up the rights to the picture?

Negative.
Granting a site non-exclusive permission is a lot different then a user redistributing that material.
Why do you think youtube has been sued so many times?
Here it is in black and white
http://www.facebook.com/legal/terms
There it is, in the terms of service, users agree not to post material they do not have the rights to.
Someone is selling your pictures for profit? :hmm:
KT
I see one of my images on another site in a few months. I have no recourse because the image was uploaded to facebook?
No, nobody is selling the pictures of the child. This is a matter of principle and property rights.
I run a blog and a forum. I use facebook to promote both sites. Part of the promotion is uploading copyright protected and watermarked images to facebook. The images are watermarked copyright, date and my real name.
Its a heck of a thought that I am relinquishing my property rights when I upload an image to facebook. The images I upload are for commercial reasons. The images I post could equal money later on through traffic to my sites.

And you know how you stop it? DON'T UPLOAD TO FACEBOOK
shit seems easy to me.
*sigh* Where does it say that?
Remember we are talking about facebook. When you post something publicly there you are agreeing to share that photo and agreeing to let others use that photo.
Under the copyright law, the creator of the original expression in a work is its author. The author is also the owner of copyright unless there is a written agreement by which the author assigns the copyright to another person or entity, such as a publisher.
This has to be a troll thread, but I'll bite.

Or just upload low res photos or ones with a very visible watermark.
No, this is not a troll thread.
Have you ever created anything? Wrote an article, ran a website, made a video?

Your arguments keep getting better and better.
