I've really got get my ass in gear and sort out a decent facebook stuff for music related stuff. Right now I only use it for non-music purposes.

i wouldnt advise facebook for anything music related. their terms and conditions basically mean that they own anything you upload, and you accept that by signing up

its open to a lot of abuse from their end

Neurojazz

They've been forced to change that - please read their new terms at bottom of the FB page

Helix

ah interesting, ill check it out now

no thanks

Neurojazz

And how do forums in general protect your postings? - lets say i post a video here, that anyone can take it?

I don't see a problem there if you are posting low quality content - it's not like you are posting full tracks in a releasable format - and the non-exclusive rights basically mean they can't stop you doing anything with your own versions.

Unless FB are going to start to sell second hand youtube content

Can you explain how this can be Helix ?

Say for example an artist/record company/publisher/management/whoever loads up a track they own legally.

It's still their track, it doesn't matter where it is ...
How can that be different on Facebook?

For what evil purpose would they use a (lets say) - 96k stream of audio.

Helix

who knows, but ive never trusted facebook lol

Neurojazz

The one to watch out for - and a few people will know this one - it's called 'a waiver of rights' - that is the one that should start ringing large bells.

Very Interesting indeed.

Is that a Facebook only issue? Is that why there seems to be a lack of Music activity on Facebook , compared to Bebo for example?

Would a link to a stream bypass that , as opposed to an actual upload?
