Facebook Doesn't Own Photos You Post (But They Might As Well.)
This one comes from a viral email that is apparently circulating stating the Facebook owns the photos you post to that site.
No. Facebook does not gain ownership of photos posted to their site. Ownership remains with the original owner.
But posting to Facebook does have ramifications when it comes to copyright.
Facebook's TOS state that posting images to their site grants Facebook a license to use that image. The actually language states "you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook."
It's the "tansferable" and "sub-licensable" parts that are important here.
Those terms allow Facebook to allow other people to use the images posted to Facebook without seeking permission from the person that originally posted it.
While you don't lose ownership of images posted to Facebook, you do lose a great deal of control. The only way to regain that control is to delete the images from Facebook, and that won't do anything to address the existence of copies elsewhere.
If you want to retain control of an image (including the right to license it for a fee) do not post it to Facebook.

Blog Update: New Auction Related Pages
I have recently decided to start blogging a little more on auctions and have added several pages on the subject: an Auction Survival Guide, a page for Auction Tips, and a page on How to Find Auctions.
These pages are currently very much works in progress. The plan is to update them as I have time.
