But that is a low-margin business.
So I have tons of images associated with accounts. So, why can't I do a 'google' and image mine too? Aaaand, I can sell the results to whatever data company?
Suddenly, higher margins and fulfills corporate charter.
- kuschku 11y agoA business making high margins is always suspicious – because they need to get the money from /somewhere/, and if you’re a customer, then the company will only get those margins by charging you more than it is worth. (By the way, too high margins are even illegal in some countries)
- kefka 11y agoThat's the special part of this: People who buy prints that they upload are a customer and a product. Companies that buy the aggregate big data package of all individual customers are also customers. A simple EULA boilerplate "we can do whatever we want with your images" is usually enough to disclaim liability or privacy... Because you chose to upload them out of your control. I didn't say it was ethical.
