mickfly Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I recently wrote a blog about my local paper who had started a Facebook 'Camera Club' page with crazy T&C's for the contributors. Article here. It was clearly for farming free content from desperate local photographers and now here's the reason they are so keen... Newsquest's "shabby scheme" gives new meaning to free newspapersDo we supply any Newsquest titles VIA Alamy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Morgan Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 And they will probably get a lot. How can you publish news that you don't know is correct or not? I see lawsuits down the line. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Morgan Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I hardly ever post images on facebook anymore, except on my dog collar business page. The few I sdo post on my personal page (which is private and I only have 35 friends attached to it), I delete it not long after. The more friends you have, the more your images can be spread over the internet, even if you don't share them anywhere. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Jill, I actively use Facebook to drive traffic to my 'normal' website and I have also had infringements settled with images lifted from sharing pages ie Facebook and Flickr. I watermark my images, but a friend actually seems to flood FB with non watermarked images, and, call me a cynic, but maybe he wants those infringements to happen!

You do have to realize that when you post images to facebook, you sign over the rights to facebook. Same with twitter and instagram. It's deciding if the odd infringement is worth the promotion. Even anything you write on facebook is handed over to them. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Not quite Jill. They need your permission to post on their platform otherwise THEY might be infringing, just as every APP on your phone requires permission to use various parts of your device. If I gave you a page on my website I would ask for your permission to allow me to post images there for you. It doesn't mean I would own the image or have the rights to sell it.

Jill Morgan Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I have seen (and actually posted on this forum I think quite some time ago) where Facebook supplied images to news from a user's page who had died. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Morgan Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I found the link here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2743563/Ex-Navy-SEAL-turned-TV-star-charged-faking-story-shot-attackers-shopping-mall.html Thought it was someone who died, but not, but that doesn't really matter.

mickfly Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Facebook probably didn't supply any images to any newspaper.(they don't own the images).I had one lifted in January from a Facebook group by a Daily Star reporter, credited to Facebook and posted on the online version of the paper. I pursued an infringement claim, it was removed and I was paid within 30 days.Facebook was credited but had nothing to do with it. I dare say that any image with 'copyright facebook' has simply been lifted and they still think that crediting in any way is good enough to satisfy the FB user.

I don't know, but in its terms it says they have the right to sub-license your images. And they don't say just on facebook. I didnt say they owned the images, but have the rights to sub-license. There are not qualifications in the terms to constrain their use. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Buzzard Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 With crap like that going on, you wonder why newspapers are dying. If they're just running the same photos you would see in someone's Facebook feed, why would anybody see any value in that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
