The internet remains the wild west. And, the techies idea that everything
out there is free continues, too.

Subject: [OM] Instagram Wants To Sell Users' Photos Without Notice
For those that use the service (part of Face chook), blurb with links on /.

photos-without-notice>
<QUOTE>
"Many Instagram users have reacted angrily to a proposed change to the apps
terms of service by owner Facebook, which would give the social network
'perpetual' rights to all photos on Instagram, allowing it to sell the
photos to
advertisers without notice - or payment to the user. The new policy will
come
into effect on 16 January, just four months after Facebook completed its
$1bn
acquisition of Instagram. It states that Facebook has a right to distribute
any
content posted on Instagram without paying the user royalties:"
