			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those who aren&#8217;t aware, it appears that by merely posting a photo on Facebook you grant (but not give up) full copyrights to Facebook and anyone with whom they partner. Lovely. Photography attorney <a href="http://www.photoattorney.com">Carolyn E. Wright</a> has the full coverage: <a title=" Facebook Can Use Your Content for Promotional Purposes" href="http://www.photoattorney.com/2009/01/facebook-can-use-your-content-for.html">Facebook Can Use Your Content for Promotional Purposes</a></p>
<p>The good news is that the Facebooks &#8220;rights&#8221; to <em>your </em>content goes away when you take down your work.</p>
<p>Over on <a href="http://www.photographershandbook.com/2009/01/11/facebook-terms-of-use-member-beware/">PhotographersHandbook.com</a> commenter &#8220;jan sonnenmair&#8221; poses a good question: &#8220;Will facebook be liable if they use an image for &#8216;commercial, advertising, or otherwise&#8217; if they donâ€™t have model releases for the people in the images? Especially children.&#8221; Good catch. Hopefully these types of ramifications will cause Facebook to re-think and re-write their Terms of Service.</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line</strong>: Don&#8217;t post <em>anything </em>on Facebook that you don&#8217;t feel like giving away, for any reason, with absolutely no control. If you have, take it down.</p>
