Many other photo-hosting sites have similar terms and conditions. Google's Picasa, for instance, is pretty bad. Flickr isn't so bad on this front, though the prominent encouragement they give to creative commons licensing, is pretty suspect. Whenever I talk about this subject with people, they always say something like "well, sure, but what are they going to do with all those photos?" Here's a post on the Wired blog that gives an answer: http://blog.wired.com/business/2008/01/facebook-ads-ma.html There's a thorny issue here, though, in that the photos probably don't have model releases. And there's an editorial issue developing in Canada regarding facebook supplying photos of a dead teenager to news media with a credit to facebook: http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/tech/internet/facebook-legal.html Thanks for posting this more prominently; I think it’s a big issue.

I don't have any images up there, but I'm always surprised by how many people do. I actually have that posted on my facebook wall.

I went to College with Scott. This is the exact reason why I don't post ANY of my work on myspace, aside from one avatar featuring an iconic image from my fashion work. Absolutely true.
