Everybody I know is on facebook, even my father!" Some of us make our living from our content. If these corporations aren't watched carefully, they will own everything and then we'll have to pay for our own content. Without our content FB is nothing. They owe us something, no?

Particularly so long as there is an ad revenue model in place, services need to know that they "own" something beyond the demographics. Content fits that bill. I'm wondering if there are some interactions with some of the more egregious DMCA decisions that influence the decision to include provisions like this...Hmm...(wanders off to his stack of recent cyberlaw updates).

Also you never really delete a FB account they just freeze them. So if you change your mind you can turn it back on like nothing ever happened. I might be wrong but

SmugMug's terms indicate "by posting any Content or otherwise participating in any Interactive Area, you grant SmugMug a perpetual, nonexclusive, royalty-free right to use, publish, distribute, reproduce, perform, adapt and display the Content on the Site" - they explicitly state that the license is only for the use of the material on the site. Facebook's is overly broad without any restrictions on use. If you have some examples of other services which claim the right to unlimited commercial use of submitted content, I'd love to check it out and will certainly rant against it just like I have against Facebook :) Bob (above) asked specifically about Flickr and I checked out their ToS, seems fine with me.
