I think it does come down to money too--like everything? I think if Richard Prince downloaded an image of Mickey Mouse, and did his "artistic" magic to the image, and sold prints in a gallery; his Lawyer would be very busy?
I, personally, don't give websites very many pictures. The few pictures I post are images I am giving away. Companies, Artists, and webscrapers are free to do whatever they want with the pictures I give up.
I don't give companies like Instagram any images--period. Facebook gets a picture of the back of my head, and I still use a pseudonym.
Even in high school, and college I never sat for a school picture. I don't like people taking my picture without my permission. I don't like companies whom take, and keep my picture--even for security, and identify purposes. I don't like public cams. I don't like marketing trend of taking employees picture for marketing purposes(Whole Foods, etc), or even employee of the month pictures.
What I am trying to say is I wish people were more concerned about their Images? I'll admit my my concern over the protection of my image, and the images I take borders on an obsession. I sometimes wonder if I'm missing out on opportunities in life by being so private?
I know companies will start running campaigns, and marketing ploys if Not posting becomes a trend. I can see it now, "Don't miss out on life--post more images!" "Don't miss out on networking opportunities--post more images!" "Don't miss out on love--post more images!"
People here know once image is posted it can be copied, manipulated, used without your consent, and sent around the world. The people I am close to don't quite realize once they upload in image it's essentially not their's anymore in any practical sense.
