p.1 #3 · p.1 #3 · OT: How do Newspapers get away with using Facebook photos for their stories? | |
I think they just don't care tbh and it is a case of 'catch me if you can'; if they do they'll just take it down and 90% of people will leave it there. The person that shot it probably won't find out and if they do they are probably a happy snapper with a phone and are just happy it is published.
Who owns what is even more murky with it being from FB so trying to get any charge to stick would be even more difficult than it already is legally. To actually get any realistic compensation you'd also have to prove you were out of pocket by them using it, I believe in the US that number is even limited to a paltry figure unless the picture was registered as copyrighted. Nowhere near worth the fees/risk/hassle to pursue.
tl;dr they don't care because they never really get punished for doing it
