Alert: Photobucket Allows Users to Use Your Photos

Journal Entry: Mon Jan 26, 2009, 4:26 AM
You should read the full article on the Photo Attorney website - [link]

Here is the short and skinny of the problem...


"Photobucket and/or other Users may copy, print or display publicly available Content outside of the Photobucket Services, including without limitation, via the Site or third party websites or applications (for example, services allowing Users to order prints of Content or t-shirts and similar items containing Content)"


Unless you have your account set to private. I am highly suggesting that every single one of you that have a Photobucket account do the following.

1. Complain to Photobucket and let them know that this is not acceptable.
2. Stop posting images or using Photobucket.com all together.
3. Mark your account private at once or just delete the whole thing.

Again you can read Carolyn's full post here - [link] - and if you have not already done so add the site to your bookmarks.

OOh yeah this has been known for a long time. It is best to put your account in private. It is also best not to put anything that is original on Photobucket. Usually people use them as a source to get pictures to share around, most use pictures from other places. I have seen many deviantart pictures within photobuckets as well.

Thanks for the headsup though o.o at least I do know for sure not to put anything original.

definitely a good warning to read the "terms of use" things that everyone tends to ignore :P
