Be careful, rights trap! Network profile: Invitation to give a warning?
Almost everyone has a profile on Facebook or somewhere else. However, what is published there quickly violates personal rights and copyrights and could be expensive. However, there are other ways to pimp your profile.
The problem is that many people in a network don't feel like they're really making things public - it's just for their friends or something like that.
Mistake: Many friends are also a public, and depending on your settings there are even more people to whom you show your profile. All in all, it is almost as public as on any homepage on the Internet.
So a few rules apply, and there are enough lawyers and rights holders who are just waiting for violations of such rules. The result can be warnings with usually hefty demands for, to be precise: money. Let's take a walk through the profile and look at the problem areas - and of course how you can do it differently without losing the fun.
Journey through the profile
Your profile picture
Let's start with the profile picture . Would you rather have a cartoon character instead of your own photo? It can be funny and even protects anonymity - but as a rule it probably violates copyright law, since someone usually has the image rights. But it's no big deal: there are plenty of legal ways to find images .
Your photo album
Then the photo album : A small collection of your favorite stars? Guaranteed to be protected, every image is guaranteed to be free of copyright infringement. Why not take photos yourself and present your own works? Continue to your videos – are they only embedded from YouTube? Doesn't matter or doesn't matter: If the video violates copyright, you're probably doing the same by embedding the film on your site. So you should be sure that the video is “clean”.
For example in the form of self-made films . In principle you can publish them, but you shouldn't violate the personal rights of other people who might appear in the film without meaning to (this also applies to pictures ). But if you are doing a film project together with others, uploading is almost a “must” and not a problem. have accompanied your film with copyrighted music For this purpose it is better to use e.g. B. Use Creative Commons Music
Your texts
So, and finally we end our little profile tour with the texts : Do you like posting poems and song lyrics? Unfortunately, it is also dangerous - unless the authors have been underground for 70 years or more. So: completely old texts or your own texts are a must! This means that everyone can now check their profiles to be on the safe side. And anyone who has gotten into serious trouble over something like this should advice about it .
