Well, in this case Instagram invited us to use their service, and only later (as far as I know) changed the terms to allow them to sell our stuff, so the comparison between Instagram and Chad's garage isn't exactly correct.
- adhipg 14y agoIt is correct. Chad never told the user that he'd one day give him a notice about putting stuff up on Craigslist.
- AndrewDucker 14y agoWhen Instagram invited you to use their service you should have considered how they might make some money out of that...
- marcosdumay 14y agoYes, and the most common way of achieving that is by showing me ads, not by selling my photos. Now, why should I have assumed the latter, and not the former? Hell, I don't have an Instagram acount anyway...
- Tyrannosaurs 14y agoIf people wanted their photos hosted on an ad driven site they existed, if they wanted them on a paid for site they existed too. But instead they chose one with uncertainty over what might happen and this is what you get. Sure it might not be what they would have expected but that happens sometimes when you open yourself up like that.
- belorn 14y agoWhile I wish users would screen services providers before using them, in reality only a very few people actually do this. And for the few people who actually try to screen services providers, most tend to go against better judgment in favor of convenience. In the end, it tend to be up to the activists and hackers to fix the problem.
