I'm regretting it already.
Glort, you can use FB to your advantage. Stick with it.
An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.
Whoa!!! Ya jus don't come across as a Face Book kinda guy.

Business as usual for them...
I stumbled upon the lawsuit story (gee wheres the mainstream media when you really need 'em? ). What I found most distressing was that the heart of the matter is that under Calif law each violation (of using peoples info without knowledge) of which is punishable by a minimum $750 fine per affected person, so it turns out that facebuck made more than $245 MILLION using the scam, then offers $10 M to settle!!
Here's the initial post about the attempt by fb to deny and settle...

Now here's the actual final settlement story from the other day...

But this act by Facebook is pure stealing, no other way around it. Not even trying to hide it with fancy language. Post a pic we like and we'll sell it. Your avatar is a pretty girl that fits a demographic? We'll take it and sell it to someone to use on their acne cream ad. Copyrighted material? Not anymore, you post it we own it, we sell it, you're screwed.
Goes way too far and eventually all that will be posted are iphone selfies and pictures of taco platters. Nobody with a brain will post a high quality salable image. I am a big free market guy so I won't push for new laws or say it is illegal, just not right way to do business in my opinion and I will vote with my business and tell others about it. Facebook has to make the decision if it is worth it.
My thought exactly!

You're Damn right there!
Been using it a bit over a week and my opinion of it is lower than when I started.
WTF is with all these people wanting to be my friends when I have no idea who the hell they are?
Then with the 20 people that have stalked and found me and made me their friends that I do know like family and 10+year friends, I get all this dribble about every comment they make and who they like.
Seriously, I'd kill for my 22 yo Niece but her taste in Music, fashion and TV show is never going to be anything I'm remotely interested in so why bombard me with it?
Then of course there is the long list of suggested friends that comes up every single time. Again, my nice's girlfirends are never going to be interested in her fat, old, Ugly, balding, married, diabetic, grumpy, uncool uncle that has kids that have far more in common with them than I do, so why in the hell would they want to know me?
I'm not rich so that pretty much kills the only reason I can think of.
Maybe some of them just get turned on sitting around listening to old buggers talk about when bread was .20 C a loaf?
No damn wonder people get stalked and girls have weirdos chasing them. Of course then the girls will announce to the world where they are going to be next Friday night which must be like hitting the jackpot for some weirdo stalker.
What really disappointed me with face waste was I copied the pic above and the links and put a post warning about this on my page. Not a single like or comment.
People just don't seem to care which is really a worry to me. I wrote that people private personal and family pics could be used on advertising campaigns without their knowledge or permission and no one seems to give a hoot.
Ironically when I do event work with kids, I ALWAYS get a few people whos main education comes from trumped up " Current affairs" programs aimed at the bottom of the intelligence pit giving me the 3rd degree about what I'm going to do with the pics later?
It seems though no one give a damn about what facewaste does with them.
Incredible.
I was doing regular updates as is supposedly the way to build a face waste site but since seeing this I haven't done anymore. I Guess I'll make sure to make the size of the pics I was posting a LOT smaller and put a water mark right across them. Kind of defeats the whole damn idea of impressing people with your work though which is why I'm wondering if the thing is half what it's cracked up to be?
I still can't see it bringing the flood of business so many people rave about or even bringing in anything much at all.
If all I'm going to get out of it is ripped off, then my disdain for the whole childish load of rubbish has been well placed all along.
Nope. You cannot steal what is given to you freely.
An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.
Define "freely".
What they've done is say "your photos are yours." on day one. Fast forward a few years and a few gigabytes and their new policy says "you grant us the right to do whatever, including sell...".
I joined FB I think 4 or 5 years ago. I seem to recall the policy at that time was "photos you upload to facebook belong to us."
