Myspace: no copyrighted images?
So, out of peerpressure I joined Myspace (finally). But, as I heard several people do, I was planning to just use it as a networking tool for my modeling. I then noticed that myspace does not allow any copyrighted images... which means theoretically I can't upload any of my professional photos, and, it also said that for security reasons they don't allow images that include identifiable information such as name/phone number on the image...meaning no photos that shows the copyright logo of the photographer. So, if some of you use myspace as a networking tool, (as I heard from several MM members that they've gotten jobs through myspace)... how do you go about it? Mar 04 06 04:14 pm Link Post whatever you want, as long as you've got proper permissions from the photographer... They just put that there to cover their butts... Paul Mar 04 06 04:16 pm Link Please quote the portion of the TOS that says "No copyrighted images"... The instant a photographer...pro/amateur/grandma...takes a picture it is copyrighted. What they mean is "No posting images you haven't been granted copyright license to post" Mar 04 06 04:22 pm Link I have a listing there. Its like MM you find all types of people and GWC's.

As someone else said it is only without permission. Mar 04 06 04:38 pm Link I always thought that "no copyrighted pictures" thing was there just to (kind of) stop people from uploading pictures of their favorite celebrities, other people's artwork and stuff like that... I think if you have permission, it isn't a problem. Mar 04 06 04:56 pm Link I do it anyways or i put up pictures and captions Mar 04 06 05:00 pm Link so basically what I've put up here on MM, should be appropriate for Myspace profile also?
