Facebook joins the effort to TAKE EVERYTHING!!!

It's all over the news. Well, at least in back pages. Facebook
recently made a change to their terms and conditions that basically
gives them the right to use whatever you upload for anything.
advertising, marketing, etc. In easier terms to understand, they can
take your image of your kid and license it to coca-cola to use on
billboards around the world and you would not see a dime.

Is that understandable enough. But then again, we still all like
facebook so what do we do. Well, start imbedding your copyright info
all over the image. There are tons of options out there. Ones I use
are Photo Mechanic ( www.camerabits.com ) and Aperture ( www.apple.com/aperture
) where you can export and the program will slap a big obnoxious
copyright info or name on the image.

Be careful, before they own everything in your library. Here's the
article.
