Retrobike photos on Facebook

Righto, thanks to a helpful member it is the case that posting a photo passes all rights and ownership onto Retrobike.

The relevant rule can be found here.

So glad I only host images on my own site now.

..... it is the case that posting a photo passes all rights and ownership onto Retrobike.

Does that mean I would not have the right to use my own photos elsewhere, after posting them on Retrobike? Surely not? After all, I have the 'negative', albeit digital.

I guess Retrobike don't have any rights to images linked externally from Flickr etc.?

Well in theory, if the copyright has passed to Retrobike then yes, they could stop you using it elsewhere. In reality that's never going to happen for many reasons.

As for the photos hosted elsewhere, I don't know. Is posting a thread with a hosted photo classed as creating content?

Perhaps John will comment when he returns.

Hello, sorry for the slow response on this one.

I'll assume the issue is related to the sharing of an image of one of your bicycles on social media? I generally create most of the social media content and as such will be sure not to share any images you post on the forum here on in.

This is not something which anyone has had an issue with in the past.

With regard to the t&c that's a general catch all and cover all type condition, clearly you can do as you please with your own images. Will have to update the forum sign up conditions to point to the other t&c.

How about adding and opt in / opt out for photo sharing as I'd be happy to share

Thanks for posting John.
There has not been an issue with one of my bikes. I just wanted to clarify what the position is. Somehow the clause on copyright quoted above had escaped my notice.
I think a highlight to the T+Cs would be a good idea.
