Facebook now has an "irrevocable, perpetual" license to use your "name, likeness, and image"

They have removed a sentence that stated that the license would "automatically expire" if you removed your content.

So if you use Facebook, you have signed over all of your rights to whatever you post there, including your own image and art and writing.

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

They went back to the old system after a lot of complaints:

Though they also say it's 'temporary' so who knows.

"Perpetual Use" solves a lot of legal problems where there isn't a better tool for the job (its a bazooka for hunting rabbits). When something isn't perpetual, then you have to deal with defining term limitations, and that's so tricky on the internet because so many things are handled by automation.

what I heard was that facebook purged 90,000 registered sex offenders, but where did they go?
I can see why those guys wouldn't want facebook to be able to track 'em, but facebook may have
been forced to do it by the fbi.

Why not give the user perpetual rights then?

People are kind of daffy to jump on board with all those social networking sites anyway.  Putting all your personal info on one of those things is like wearing a big "SCREW ME" sign, only it isn't a friendly screwing you get, more of a nasty bukkake kind of screwing.

Quote - Why not give the user perpetual rights then?

They don't want to.

That reminds me of a story that Lynn told me about a company that charged more money for their Mac OS products than their Windows products. Granted the products were not exactly the same, but were equivalents. He asked them why they did this. Their response was...

"Because we can"

Glad I don't use facebook to start with for the reasons Pj states. But if I did, I sure wouldn't post any of my art there ever with a clause like that in their TOS.

Not even the 3D sites out there try to pull that one. And it is they who really stand to make money from use of artists work.
