Without payment or compensation of any kind... starting Jan 16, 2013.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57559710-38/instagram-says-it-now-has-the-right-to-sell-your-photos/

Instagram said today that it has the perpetual right to sell users' photographs without payment or notification, a dramatic policy shift that quickly sparked a public outcry.

The new intellectual property policy, which takes effect on January 16, comes three months after Facebook completed its acquisition of the popular photo-sharing site. Unless Instagram users delete their accounts before the January deadline, they cannot opt out.

---

Another policy pitfall: If Instagram users continue to upload photos after January 16, 2013, and subsequently delete their account after the deadline, they may have granted Facebook an irrevocable right to sell those images in perpetuity. There's no obvious language that says deleting an account terminates Facebook's rights, EFF's Opsahl said.

Don't use it myself, but I suspect a lot of people will be dropping it if this doesn't change...

If they want to sell my pictures of what I ate last night, random outdoor pictures, and over nonsense, all the power to them.

Seriously, if they can get cash for the poo my wife takes pictures of on IG then props for ripping someone off....

You say that until a picture of your kid ends up on the packaging for a dildo and there is nothing you can do about it.

Serious question: When does a dildo company put a picture of a child on the packaging? Being married and full of dignity...I have not frequented an adult store since college...unfortunately*...

*Wifey makes sure I rid all my expectations of Sex ...with her at least... its why my post count is so high recently.

My kid is 22 so there's that...

And I was just trying to come up with something so repugnant that neither of the posters who said they didn't care could legitimately claim to be cool with it.

As I said before if IG can make a buck off the poo my wife takes pictures of on her Iphone (flowers, rainy windows, the back of our dogs head etc etc)....then more power to them....

      CBS does not think Bryce makes the leap

      By frankw · Posted

      It would be nice to see #9 prove people like this laughably wrong. That's why many Panthers fans myself included were wanting to see how much time he'd dedicated to his craft following the conclusion of the season but then he showed up and let everyone know he pretty much crawled under a rock. Somehow the Panthers social team though this was rather amusing after what we'd sacrificed for the rights to draft him It's interesting that we go from Levis being least desirable of the class and a complete and total meathead that would alienate himself from his teammates to being talked up as possibly emerging as one of the better young QB's entering the 2024 season. Man what a whirlwind the last 12 months have been for the people who fully bought the hype machine in the lead up to the 2023 NFL draft and did victory laps like they had their very own sports almanac from BTTF. Life comes at you fast folks.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      You either need to do waaay more drugs or waaay less drugs, your current intake is not right. Sorry I can not advise on which path to take.

      The franchise guy Carolina Panthers Deep Dive

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He's routinely a great watch.  Good content.  I like his optimism on Chubba in our scheme, allows us to bring in Brooks at an optimal pace relative to his recovery (who we got obviously to be our new guy, could become the focal point of this offense) The two news OGs will have no issue playing our offense coming from familiar schemes, one in Hunt being league top, is going to be huge for our running game more than anything.  I also liked him maintaining some optimism with Icky.   Seeing his page and commentary on our defense really puts in perspective how much turnover we have.  It should feel like a much different team (hopefully better) especially that front-7.  Jewell is going to be better than people expect, he was super unheralded for Denver and is just a smart closer who played against the Chiefs routinely well.
