Fb doesnt Own the image so any use by a third party is a violation and actionable. Images being stilen is not new. Im sure others can attest to getting portfolios back with chromes retaped back into mattes. There are services like digi mark if its real concern for anyone.

But if, after Facebook uses one for promotion, it is stolen from Facebook's promotion, can the photographer go after the thief? I'm assuming Facebook would not care about the theft.-yoramOn Jun 8, 2013, at 8:56 PM, Lea Murphy wrote:Every client who comes to my studio signs a release allowing me to use their images for promotional purposes.

I'm all over FB all the time and if they sell my info I've never seen how that matters.Creating my professional FB page was the single best thing I ever did for my business.Leafor lack of attention a thousand forms of loveliness elude us every dayIf anyone is on Facebook, you should be aware that they sell your personal information and any images you post there belong to them. Their Terms and Conditions are legal. They track every other web site you visit and create a behavioral profile that they sell to all comers. I strongly suggest you investigate Ghostery and DoNotTrack me.
