Protecting Yourself From Social Media Lawsuits

Social network give people the ability to share incredible volumes of content. People are sharing Photos, ideas, writings and video. All that stuff? It’s called intellectual property and in each case it belongs to somebody. Let’s start with creation any copyright issues. We all know how much “lifting” goes on in the Internet. Those who create content in an environment of “sharing: often find their ideas, photos and sometimes entire paragraphs repurposed without their permission. Having clear language on blogs and website puts the public on notice about your position vis a vis copyright. In other words put a copyright, all rights reserved on your content on the bottom of your blog. One day you may need to point to it if you are ripped off and you want to take legal action. Have you ever read the first find print Terms link provided by Facebook, Twitter or You Tube? In the case of Facebook once you sign up for an account and click agree you have granted them non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free worldwide rights to use any IPcontent that you post on or in connection with Facebook. They can take whatever you put on there and use it. You don’t lose ownership rights, but you do lose control over how your content can be used. Having a social media policy is considered an enforcement action by the FTC, which can be important if you are sued for misleading or unsubstantiated claims on a blog or a blogger.
