Downloading friends' photos on FB...discuss.
Anyone noticed that this is now an option when you view other people's photos? I don't like it, but there doesn't currently seem to be a way to protect against it.
Just because I share a photo doesn't necessarily mean that I want people to be able to download it and use it for whatever.
Am I just supposed to restrict all my photos to "friends" that I think won't abuse this capacity? 
Re: Downloading friends' photos on FB...discuss.
Any photo you post on the internet can be stolen. Even if it's "protected", a person can still do a screen capture and crop it out in Paint or Photoshop. It might not be the highest quality that way, but there's no way to prevent it.
Personally, I don't care. My profile is locked down so that only people on my friend's list can see my photos. If there are photos I don't want certain people to see, I can restrict access to those albums so they don't even know they exist. And if it's something I'm really worried about people stealing and/or using for nefarious purposes, I just won't post it.
Otherwise, I'm excited about the option. A lot of times friends will post pictures from events we've both attended, and it will be so much easier to download them myself than having to chase them down to send them me. And vice versa. It saves me time from having to send my friends all the files for photos they want.
Yeah, I guess it does have an upside...good point Dani.
It's a lot of work to save photos when the "save as" feature is disabled by something like flash, and while I know it is still possible, it's a big dissuasion.
I suppose I'm just annoyed because I want the option to control it, and I'm being denied! Heh.
I always chuckled when my BFF's mom would comment on a photo, "Ooh, I love this one - can you email it to me?"...it's virtually the same quality when sized to email as it is uploaded to FB, right? Anywho...
