It is major blast when Facebook?s Instagram, ever since Facebook acquired Instagram, reveals that it has the right to sell users? photo or pictures without any notice or costs spent. And here users have no way to bypass this option. Instagram made topping news today when it disclosed that it owns the perpetual rights to sell user? photographs without having to pay them any sort of payments, a surprising policy mover that rapidly shocked mass public. Intellectual property terms like this is expected to be implemented from January 16, this is Facebook?s 3 months completion after it bought Instagram, the photo-sharing social service. Users who want to escape from this have an option to delete their accounts and move out before January.
Facebook claims these kind of rights where it can legalize licensing for all public Instagram pictures to businesses or any other firm, including promotions or advertising purposes, which would bring in better transformation to the website into the world?s largest stock photo agency. An annoyed Twitter source marks that ?Instagram is now the new iStockPhoto, except they won?t have to pay you anything to use your images.? A senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation in better words describes these rights as ?It?s asking people to agree to unspecified future commercial use of their photos,? and adds as ?That makes it challenging for someone to give informed consent to that deal.?
This means that any place, for example, could write a check to Facebook to license photos captured at that place and use any where the social giant desires commercially without paying a single penny to the Instagram user who captured the picture. These commercial advantages not only includes natural & picturesque beautifying places but also photos of young kids & teens playing on beach, this is something that parents would be shocked and may trigger state privacy laws too.
Next shock comes as: If Instagram user posts photos after January 16, 2013 and then deletes his account then they might give permission to Facebook to sell those photos perpetually. There is no provision for a user that deleting account stops Facebook from taking commercial advantage.
