They have "retracted" that statement, saying (to effect) that the choice of words was poor and that they had no intention of

grab some rights to people's photographs; but the backlash and potential exodus of users was a bit overwhelming so
they've backpedaled. What's more disturbing is what this reveals about their appraisal of the intelligence and savvy of their
user base.
Interestingly, this isn't the first time anyone has been to this rodeo.
A number of high-profile attempts have failed in exactly the same way
in the past.
Fascinating.
