   If you post something - ANYTHING AT ALL - that causes somebody to   
   connect to facebook to look at it, they make money from the ad that   
   comes with showing it to whoever came to see it. They make money using   
   content *YOU* supplied, with zero benefit to you. And that only   
   considers the ads. The last time I looked at their "If you want a   
   Facebook page, you have to agree to these terms whether you like them or   
   not" legalese, there was a specific "Anything and everything you upload   
   to our servers becomes our property to do with as we please, and we   
   don't owe you squat for it" clause.   
      
   Translation, *EVERY* FB user that has ever had a visitor to their page   
   has made facebook money with no compensation to them, and they claim all   
   rights to do anything and everything they like with whatever hits their   
   servers in connection with your account, with nothing owed to you for   
   the use of it if and when they get around to doing so.   
      
   But hey - don't let me stop you from putting more money in Zuckerman's   
   pocket if that's what tickles yer pickle. Just don't think I'll ever do   
   anything that'll help make it happen.
