From their TOS:
"All content uploaded to Twitpic is copyright the respective owners. The owners retain full rights to distribute their own work without prior consent from Twitpic. It is not acceptable to copy or save another user's content from Twitpic and upload to other sites for redistribution and dissemination.
By uploading content to Twitpic you give Twitpic permission to use or distribute your content on Twitpic.com or affiliated sites. "
So your images are safe(ish) for now, I think.
- makmanalp 15y agoWorld Entertainment News Network sure looks like it's affiliated with Twitpic now.
- phaylon 15y agoIt also says However, […], you hereby grant Twitpic a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the Content in connection with the Service and Twitpic's (and its successors' and affiliates') business, […] I think the "sublicensable and transferable" part is relevant here. What I found most odd was the claim to go after unauthorized uses. I would've expected that this has to be done by the copyright owner in many countries.
- ChuckMcM 15y agoNah, they put it under the right to sublicense. I think this is a great move, if it kills TwitPic (which one presumes will be the outcome if WENN puts enough pictures into distribution, and DMCA-bans folks) That will help clarify what this is "worth" (since WENN will either make money on this or not) and it will help folks figure out what's what with the TOS stuff.
