Hopefully it’s just someone in their legal deprtment being dense, but Facebook’s new Terms Of Service demand that you-
hereby grant Facebook an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to (a) use, copy, publish, stream, store, retain, publicly perform or display, transmit, scan, reformat, modify, edit, frame, translate, excerpt, adapt, create derivative works and distribute (through multiple tiers), any User Content you (i) Post on or in connection with the Facebook Service or the promotion thereof subject only to your privacy settings or (ii) enable a user to Post, including by offering a Share Link on your website and (b) to use your name, likeness and image for any purpose, including commercial or advertising, each of (a) and (b) on or in connection with the Facebook Service or the promotion thereof.
For an example of how unlike (most) other social networking sites this is, take a look at Amanda French’s comparative post of Terms Of Service.
I’m going to remain a member, but I’ll do my best to keep their hands off Spinneyhead product. If you’re on Facebook join the group protesting the new Terms Of Service.
