My Content is My Content is My Content

NYC_D_20090214_36
Thank you Mark. Thank you faceobook! Much appreciated that you re-thought your strategy! Seriously. You wanted to claim not only everything that I post on your site - understandable - but also the LINKS leading to content on other sites? '

Whenever I would have posted a link to a blog posting on my site - nydiscovery.info - YOU would have owned the rights to use that? Excuse me please. And excuse me please for getting direct - but are you nuts?

My content is my content is my content, Mark. Create your own and monetize that but don't jump on mine. And if you think I need your facebook... well, think again! There are lots of other really cool sites out there, last but not least Fotolog, the site I am working for, for more than 4 years,

Yes, so  - dear readers - if you're annoyed by what's going on, you might want to give http://www.fotolog.com a second look. See you there!

Que te diviertas!

Good that Facebook reverted its unilateral TOS changes, but it doesn't solve the problem: who does own the content on Facebook? And how much can we trust a privately owned company with the goal to make profit with our content?
