I do. It makes it easier for my clients to upload a small file rather than a huge file.

I don't think it's a big problem. If your client uploads images to Facebook that you own the copyright for, I fail to see how they can give Facebook rights to your images, regardless of what the nice people at Facebook have to say about it. Unless they have your express permission to do so of course.

Facebook can put whatever they want in their terms of use but in the end the client can't give away the rights to something they don't own.

We've been making 800 pixel files for as long as we've been shooting digital.

I'd have to look again to find the exact wording, but I've looked at this before. They don't claim that they OWN the pics, just that they have the right to show them on your, and your friends' (and their friends, and their friends) pages. I mean, there's no way they could ask permission every time a pic was going to show up on someone's page, so they need you to give a blanket permission when you upload. *shrug*

I've been offering low-res CD's for ever. For an extra cost, of course.

I put them on facebook anyway. This makes sure that everyone viewing them knows that you took them (free marketing and instant networking).

I've always included them on the same CD as the high-res files, and initially made a folder for each labeled "Hi-Res" and "Low-Res". But then when I ran into clients at a later point they would often say "I took my cd to the printer and I think you made a mistake... there are 2 copies of each image".

That's when I started labeling the folders "PRINT ONLY" and "WEB ONLY", and that helped a bit. I think offering a separate CD for a small fee might be the way to go from now on though.

Facebook doesn't own your photos. Relax.

It used to be in the TOS that they had "rights" to photos so that they could back them up and move them around on servers. They've clarified it since to specify that the user owns the rights to all content.

I definitely would charge for a FB CD. You're providing a service. People will pay you to reduce their pain and many people find it a pain to resize photos and/or wait forever for them to upload to FB.

Put your watermark on them so that all their friends can see who took those awesome photos, though.

Yup, by the time you shoot the event you are already friends with the B&G, so tag them, and it shows up in their stream. Good call soberup.
