Does anybody really think the warnings posted on profiles about using a members info or pics actually carry any weight or are effective in any way at all?would love to hear from anybody who has taken legal action against anybody for "pinching" their pics/info

I believe they've long been regarded as completely meaningless and powerless as a means of preventing any such copying. I would really like to hear from somebody who has found photos from their Fab profile in Sydney University's research portfolio (and how many of us have ready access to that?).

I don't know about anyone else, but I get quite annoyed by profiles that devote far more space to written warnings than they do in describing the person!

I really don't understand the point of them - you make the decision to be on here and then what you show is out of your hands - so just don't show it if you don't like the risk...

From the FAQs on here:-

"The "legal disclaimer" is pointless nonsense and all does is take up extra space on our servers. Please remove it if you have it on your profile. If you're worried about privacy please set your account to be hidden from non-registered users on your privacy page (this also hides it from search engines but may take a week or two to drop out of search) and remove the notice (and encourage others to do likewise).

Common sense advice would be NOT to put any information on your profile (here, or on any such site) that could identify you or that you don't want to become public! So for your own benefit, don't post phone numbers, real names or email / instant message addresses on your profile that people might see or "Google".

Some people may put non-identifying pics on their public profile but keep face pics private or for friends, for example."

we do know they aren't worth the "paper"(web page area?) they are written on ,just wondered on other folks views on them,they are a bit hypocritical really on a site devoted to meeting others for no stings fun!

The warning is worthless

The warning is ineffective and is just using money for Fab bandwidth, servers etc that could be used for something else.
