[Advocacy Advisors] a kind request for a translation

Don't know about Facebook specifically, but WM-SE did get sued recently for
publishing photographs of public art on a non-commercial website:

Also, suing people who have no idea about copyright and use random images
on their low-traffic and/or personal blogs/websites is a popular niche
market; the web

that <http://community.sitepoint.com/t/getty-images-is-after-me/2826>. If
the right for licensing building photos stays with the copyright owner,
Cavada has no way of guaranteeing some will not start doing it (or sell the
rights to do it) as a side income. The alternative is to create a
collection society which is the sole organization permitted to pursue
copyright violations (that's how fees are collected for e.g. playing music
in your store in many countries); in which case the upkeep costs of that
society have to be collected at the very least, so again they will have to
sue someone or otherwise make them pay.
