Ban on posting Olympics photos on Facebook

Unfortunately it is a popular pastime amongst many of the English to complain about everything around them. If their dire predictions fail to come true then they just invent things to complain about.

We don't need to invent things to complain about, we have Americans giving us more than enough to complain about

....and the remaining half is filled with warm beer - even I can't stomach that I am a Brit!

just sharing the surplus!

scatterbrained, private means non commercial. Social media photos are generally non commercial in nature. The IOC is worried about commercial use of photos. In fact, what you posted is actually a cut and paste of the actual words, which makes it read different than it is.

the actual quote clearly states no VIDEO OR SOUND on social sites, but it does NOT mention photos.

As far as the Ticket conditions, it does say Images, video and sound, i.e. photos; can only be used for private and domestic purposes. This precludes social media, which is neither private nor domestic.

Really? You don't think that posting to my Facebook page is 'domestic use'. I would disagree. And if LOCOG thought that that first clause

did cover social networking sites, why does the second clause

specifically mention them? The only reason I can think of is that the first clause refers to images, video and sound; while the second clause refers only to the latter two - images are not included.

Why would they be more restrictive of sound and video than of images? And, since MJPEG is a succession of independent still images, are MJPEG files OK to upload to facebook? After all, they're just a lot of still images put into one file!

like i said earlier , they dont really care if you are "sharing" images with your buddies on facebook or a forum.

they do however care if people are going to youtube to see the video of an event you uploaded instead of watching it on the television station that paid for the broadcast rights.

there is a big, big difference.

They need to serve free cheese at the Olympics.

........ to go with everyone's whine.

McDonald's fries are tasty, but are they even made from potatoes? I'm afraid to eat them anymore. They lost our business after the whole pink slime affair.

Every company and every person makes mistakes. If you stop buying from a company once they've made any sort of mistake you'll soon be out of companies to buy from.

Pink slime meat? Never heard of it. Just where do you live?

Well out of all this I will be happy to take a used 1D mk X from the Olympics. Read somewhere that they are using heaps of 1D mk X

Some people need to do some research and exploring for themselves before overreacting. Not saying the quoted specifically but I already posted this link below.

McDonald's specifically has used white breast meat since 2003... almost a decade before this "Pink Slime" was a hot topic issue.

also the slime isnt limited to McDonald's, some supermarkets use it too.
