The argument that personal Facebook uploads are
'non-commercial' does
not hold water.
Any private individual who uploads personal photographs to a social
media website will be affected, as most sites require users to warrant
that their uploads do not not infringe the intellectual property rights
of any third party. Anybody using social media to share even private
photographs that include a modern building or streetscape within the
view will be in breach of the warranty and will be at significant legal
risk.
Also, many websites state in their small print that uploads are
automatically licensed to the site owner under a worldwide non-exclusive
licence for any purpose (even commercial). Uploaders will not be in a
position to grant such a licence, as they will no longer be the sole
copyright owner of their own photographs.
The relevant clauses in the Facebook legal terms can be found here:
* 2.1 For content that is covered by intellectual property rights,
like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the
following permission, subject to your privacy
<https://www.facebook.com/privacy/> and application settings
<https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=applications>: 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 (IP License).
* 5.1 You will not post content or take any action on Facebook that
infringes or violates someone else's rights or otherwise violates
the law.

He has to be convinced then that the commercial sharing is not as
simple issue as it is believed by Svoboda.

Předmět: Re: freedom of panorama
i've contacted
ŠTEFANEC Ivan <ivan.stefanec(a)europarl.europa.eu>
with some mixed results.
he believes in press release by pavel svoboda
http://us9.campaign-archive2.com/?u=0519b32bd74df1cad7d02aa01&id=3d98dd…
<http://us9.campaign-archive2.com/?u=0519b32bd74df1cad7d02aa01&id=3d98dde117>
which says that "of course, facebook photos are non commercial". which
i doubt.
but after a second email:
Každopádne je jasné, že presadzujem slobodu šírenia záberov okolia bez
obmedzenia a podľa toho budem aj hlasovať.
It is evident, that I acitvelly support
freedom of spreading of panorama photos without (any) restrictions and
I will vote according to this.

Perhaps you can ask then to either join her effort or to take it up
themselves. Will send you the AM text, but Schaake still hasn't
tabled it.
