So, in digging through Facebook’s Terms of Service (for this post), I did come across some other information. Like that anything you publish *on* Facebook is pretty much owned by them until the end of eternity, where they can rejigger, reformat, republish and spank your content until you remove it yourself. *THEN* its revoked. Not that DJI is so large a fish that I need to worry that anything here would ever be republished by Facebook … I’m still glad I don’t cross publish my posts on Facebook. Its funny how once you start creating content you start suddenly having an opinion about intellectual property. For other thoughts on Facebook’s TOS, check this post out to make sure you go in with both eyes open, particularly if both feet have leapt first.

They own *all* of your bases. ;)
Tony,
Thanks for the link! You’re absolutely right that intellectual property becomes a big interest once we start publishing.

Yeah, reminds me of when I first started out as a resident — and therefore, earning a salary. I suddenly had an opinion about what the government was doing! As my staff said at the time “its funny how you start have an opinion about what the government does once you start paying taxes.”
:)
