Before we all panic, keep in mind that all services that share pictures have a similar clause. It absolves the retailer from any liability due to the sharing of the photo. Costco, Facebook, and others have similar clauses.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Looks like it is more expanded now.

Facebook's new rights to sell Instagram users' photos come from two additions to its terms of use policy. One section deletes the current phrase "limited license" and, by inserting the words "transferable" and "sub-licensable," allows Facebook to license users' photos to any other organization.

A second section allows Facebook to charge money. It says that "a business or other entity may pay us to display your... photos... in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you." That language does not exist in the current terms of use.

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.


Any guesses on how long before this also applies (if it doesn't already) to Facebook uploads?

Cnet did a good job of explaining how this was breaking new ground.

They have a clause that grants them the right to redisplay your content. This is taking your content and using it in a for-profit sale by Facebook without any compensation for you.
