wow what if you just dont log in forever again? then youre not agreeing to the new terms? isnt there a law that they have to alert you if they change a contract?

So they own my pics and vids? OMG. As for deleting it now its pointless anyways. Seems like a bs thing but it really doesnt effect me.

[Quartney]

its kinda pointless to delete the whole account too bc friends probably have posted pictures that you are in. sucksssss

to totally delete your account you need to bomb your trail. untag everything, remove pics and vids, delete every comment....

[Ktmracer419]

doesnt effect me much. they can use mah sique wheelin pics

and lol at the noobs who have drunken pics on facebook and post "OMG I WAS SO TRASHEED"

I don't get what's the problem?

Like, ok, they "own" your pics now. Yeah they're on their site. It's on the internet, you google some keyword and bam it's right there. I don't get it? Maybe like if it was an embarassing pic or something? But still, don't put it on the internet?

Someone explain why this is the end of the world to me please.

Will makes a fancy video for SIS or HMC, he uploads it to facebook. They now own it, own rights to it, and can sell it or do what the wish with it.

yup. and someone on slashdot posted a very interesting scenario.

say College Bikini Amateurs dot com saw your picture on the beach, and deemed you worthy of their site. they buy the picture from facebook and then its theirs. congratulations, youre now famous.

Its not a big issue for the average user. But say some up and coming band uploads their new single to facebook. They explode onto the scene and are huge and sell millions of records. Facebook can claim owner ship on the song they uploaded on facebook and take monies.
