Week 6 - Tutorial task

I doubt people uploading pictures, movie clips think very much about who can use what you upload or if it can be used for the wrong purpose. A recent example on a homemade video uploaded on YouTube gone worldwide is by a Brisbane lawyer employed on QUT, posting a film where he is smoking both the Koran and the Bible. Pretty dumb idea.

Who is it that really own all the things people upload on Facebook? It’s a question i must admit i have not thought much about until now. I looked around on Facebook to see what i could find regarding who owns your/my Facebook content.

"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: 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."

That means that we partly own the stuff we upload, but facebook has the right to use the content you upload. Soi in general, what you upload can be used by others
