They had people's trust and then they go and risk losing it; not smart. It makes no sense that Facebook would risk messing up a good thing by edging in on people’s intellectual property.

I have licensed photos to companies that have a facebook presence and the license allows for the company to place the images on the companies facebook page. But they do not own the rights to grant a license to facebook or anyone else for those photos, as they belong to me. So I wonder who I will sue when my images are used by a non-licensed entity??
