    Default Re: Photbucket or Google Image Post Downloads

    (assuming it is eligible for copyright protection. Not all photographs are, but I'm being nit-picky. Virtually all are. The exceptions are rare)

    It's been a while since I opened my flickr account (and even longer since I used photbucket) but I seem to remember the terms of service explicitly stating that by posting a picture I am asserting that I have copyright in that picture and that posting it does not in any way give up any of my copyright. Facebook tried to change its TOS to claim an indefinite license in anything posted but the public outcry forced them to retract that change.

    If you post it, nobody can copy it (unless you're in Denmark I think)

    In the United States, the Fair Use exception to copyright offers many ways a knowledgeable person can legally copy a copyrighted work without permission of the copyright owner.
