Don't they have to notify users of a change in TOS?

I personally think the language in Facebook's TOS is to defend against lawsuits pending against them rather than to acquire content for one reason or another. I can't imagine Facebook trying to sell pictures of HS soccer to parents on the side, or marketing 600px-long-side wedding pictures to brides.

I put my logo on all my photos - I just think it's smart business to do so.

I'm not worried. Unless fb is into taking crappy photos from a halfass photog...then I'll worry.

i think everybody is over-reacting. the jpeg resizer on facebook destroys any decent quality images u have. unless ur shooting from a crummy PnS. unless its images ur selling/sold, i think putting your logo on is a bit pretentious.
