Hi all,
It seems that facebook is making changes to its policies, and lots of people are now posting this message:
In response to the new Facebook guidelines, I hereby declare that my copyright is attached to all of my personal details, status updates, messages, photos, videos and all other personal content that I post or have posted, online, as a result of the Berne Convention, on my personal profile page, or anyone else's page. For commercial use of the above, MY HANDWRITTEN CONSENT IS NEEDED AT ALL TIMES WITH NO EXCEPTIONS.
But I'm not entirely sure why. Is it just a knee jerk reaction to this? Or is it really essential?
I've read the linked info but can't quite see that it's necessary.
Now sometimes I post family pictures and sometimes I post Bryce stuff, or other things I've created - what do people think about this?
Do I need to post such a copyright message before the 10th Dec too?
