Does 365 Project Claim Ownership Of The Pictures You Post?

August 22nd, 2011
I am just wondering if 365 Project claims ownership of the pictures you post or not. Does anybody know?
August 22nd, 2011

August 22nd, 2011
Why would they do that ? ..

Best way to find out is to include @scrivna in your question, and Ross should respond in a timely manner.

In terms of service (bottom of the page) it states that the copyright of the photo remains with the person who took it, the site may use the photo on other place on the site eg the weeks top 20 but will credit the owner.
Why do you ask?

@steveh not sure.. I think Facebook does.. maybe.. hope not.
@emmar84 OH my gosh thank you SO much.. thats great (: I don't know, just wondering.

@laurendoubleu I believe there were rumors that Facebook claims ownership to photos posted but I don't believe that is true.

We will only use your images on this site. If you are lucky your photos may be featured on the 365 Project blog or newsletter (we do top 20 lists and things like that) the image will always be accompanied with a link back and full credit to the original work.

2.Sharing Your Content and Information

You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:
1.For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
2.When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
3.When you use an application, your content and information is shared with the application. We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content and information. (To learn more about Platform, read our Privacy Policy and Platform Page.)

Which, translated, says "we can do whatever we want with it, but it's still yours, and we don't prevent you doing anything with it either".

@cookie123 just as I thought (o;
August 22nd, 2011
@Scrivna for the most part, you take better pictures then I do, why would you want mine??? :-)
August 22nd, 2011
@cookie123 Ooh.. I don't think I like that Facebook can do anything with the pictures or videos you post.. does that mean they store you photos forever even if you delete them? I didn't quite understand that part.
August 22nd, 2011
@Scrivna Thank you so much (:
August 23rd, 2011
@steveh oh, really? do you know how?
@chriswang oh, thanks! that's good to hear..
August 23rd, 2011
@eyebrows @steveh this is why I dont post photographs on fb anymore, i just keep the account to be in the loop with family etc.
August 23rd, 2011
@cookie123 yeah
August 24th, 2011
@laurendoubleu No, if you delete them, they're gone, *unless* someone else has shared them. You can probably disable sharing of your stuff, in which case you're safe.
August 24th, 2011
@eyebrows ooh okay thanks! I got kind of confused. That really helps! Were talking about Facebook, right?
August 24th, 2011
Yup
