Like many people, I uploaded a picture to twitter shortly after joining and after that stuck with it.(I chose yfrog) I never thought about the copyright issues because I assumed I owned any image I loaded and if the service wanted to sell my photos, I'd have to give my consent and I'd be paid for them. Turns out, not so much. Once I learned that, I deleted all the photos I had on yfrog and switched to mobypicture. They explicitly say that my content is mine. I'd advise you to do the same as soon as possible. By the way, facebook has the same policy in their TOS.
- nikcub 15y agosomebody needs to create a website that is a directory of sites that tick off all the important ToS conditions. ie. which sites own your content when you upload, which ones do not delete, etc. sounds like a great weekend project for someone publish an API and hookup a browser plugin that will color the address bar red whenever you are about to signup to a site that has a fishy ToS At Techcrunch I built a bot that would crawl and grep ToS pages for changes, we used it a few times to detect new upcoming product launches from Google et al. I would integrate something similar into this ToS directory site
- pavel_lishin 15y agoDidn't you give consent by using the service? Pretty sure they have a ToS. Just because you didn't bother reading it doesn't mean you're not bound by it.
