If my work were selling like hotcakes, especially low res versions like I post on Facebook I might worry, but I can't imagine when this would be a problem."Blake Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187987264904729243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-71260931732281337142010-06-18T00:05:30.063-07:002010-06-18T00:05:30.063-07:00Even low resolution is only a limited shield.

For a magazine the quality is nearly good enough for A4. <br />So the best thing is not to publish online ;-)Kay von Aspernhttp://www.von-aspern.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-62944222088094320402010-06-17T16:46:13.285-07:002010-06-17T16:46:13.285-07:00Thanks for the link, Dolly.

I don't feel very threatened by Facebook but I can see how someone with marketable work might want to steer clear, since once it's on Facebook you basically sign away your copyright.<br /><br />I think to some extent this is true of all web images. Not that we lose copyright but once something is online it is impossible to control what happens to it. Any musician knows this firsthand. I think our main protection at this point is that online images are too low-res to substitute for the real deal. But I expect that will change.Blake Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187987264904729243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-15258661098519441102010-06-17T10:27:32.451-07:002010-06-17T10:27:32.451-07:00Sadly, Blake, I know that you can get a free print...Sadly, Blake, I know that you can get a free print from this guy from facebook, but according to facebook's privacy rights, they can too. <br />"By posting User Content to any part of the Site, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to the Company an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute such User Content for any purpose on or in connection with the Site or the promotion thereof, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such User Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing."<br />quoted from Andrew Flusche's website:<br />http://www.legalandrew.com/2007/07/21/facebook-and-the-law-8-things-to-know/Dollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-53483894294889161292010-06-16T10:47:04.528-07:002010-06-16T10:47:04.528-07:00I think Facebook will not replace specialized blog...I think Facebook will not replace specialized blogs. It's the opposite. Blogs will profit from Facebook. In most of cases Facebook is used for posting links to other websites/blogs. So - at least to me - Facebook is just an entry to dive deeper into stories, photography, whatever. A starting point.Kayhttp://www.von-aspern.denoreply@blogger.com
