Flickr Terms of Service – What does this mean ?
-
I had a look at the TOS for Flickr as I use them to post images in the threads here on PI, and I saw this :
With respect to Content you elect to post for inclusion in publicly accessible areas of Yahoo! Groups or that consists of photos or other graphics you elect to post to any other publicly accessible area of the Services, you grant Yahoo! a world-wide, royalty free and non-exclusive licence to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish such Content on the Services solely for the purpose of displaying, distributing and promoting the specific Yahoo! Group to which such Content was submitted, or, in the case of photos or graphics, solely for the purpose for which such photo or graphic was submitted to the Services. This licence exists only for as long as you elect to continue to include such Content on the Services and shall be terminated at the time you delete such Content from the Services
Does this mean that if you have a photo posted on Flickr they can effectively do whatever they want with it, sell it, give to others for advertising purposes etc without having to pay you ?
If so, are people aware of this ?
How else do you post full size images on PI ? This is the only way I know how to do it. I would move away from flickr if there was another way.

You could use pix.ie. see their terms & conditions to see if they suite you.
Mark,
If you just want somewhere to put photos which you’re going to post up on PI for critique,
then maybe just use the gallery space you have here on the site ?https://www.photographyireland.net/album.php
