If someone is going to use your pictures for commercial purposes you don't want to be compensated for it? You also have no control over in what kind of setting they'll end up in. | ||

I never understand why there are so many apologists for big businesses. This really is screwing over the users of this service imo. My wife takes pictures for stock photography, and they can use these photos for literally anything, STD warnings ads, any weird commercial you can think of. Obviously the solution is to simply close your accounts if you don't want your stuff shared and let others know so they can make an informed choice! | ||

I don't mind either way, I don't really use instagram since I think it's the strongest indication of a poor photographer. | ||

Instagram is a commercial service. It produces a web page with your pictures on it. A third party may pay them show advertising on the page alongside your pictures. It may have to move the physical storage associated with your pictures, or pay a third party to take over the hosting and web serving of those pictures, to lighten the load on its servers. It's possible these changes are more related to their business model, or physical infrastructure, than to any plan to sell pictures to random groups. Not sure how it will play out, though. They may actually be looking for more revenue. I dunno. But then again, I never used Instagram because my life simply is not that exciting, nor do I have any desire to share pictures that way. | ||

It may start as advertising, but everyone gets money hungry. It will quickly turn into something more than just money raising to support themselves (not like they need it for ad revenue anyway, as it is owned by Facebook) | ||

I'm not sure about Valve's business model ( about % of earning taken from workshop stuff ), but that is the right way to make money. They get more people creating, while giving them insentive to do more cool stuff, while both them and the artist get money. Such a move won't encourage competition.. | ||

I mean they can actually require you to agree that they're the Hyper-President of Mars but it means the exact same as an anti class action lawsuit clause. Yeah it won't stand under most legal systems, you usually can't opt out of the law. Personally as an amature sports photographer, I hate everything about instagram anyway. Facebook already claims ownership of photos you put on there, I imagine any attempt to sell or publish your images, especially private ones would violate other privacy clauses/laws. Facebook is a funny one, in a similar vein to Apple they're a very dodgy company that want's to control its uers, but people like their product so don't want to believe it. | ||

And fyi, there is no real debate here, they have the right to what they like with your photos. If you clicked accept... | ||

I don't see how anyone can call a facilitator of the fucking SWAG generation anything other than cancerous. Though, since everyone who uses it is already a retard I guess they wont care about having their personal info stolen. | ||
