But they don't get legal ownership of the content, or the right to redistribute or sub-license it ... I mean ... if you email a photo to someone, that doesn't mean he can go an publish it or resell it ! Same thing, if you send a novel to someone for comments, that doesn't mean he can take it and go sell it himself ... That facebook has some archived copy, that's alright with me. But that they have the right to show it is something that the poster should be able to revoke. And the fact that it essentially becomes _their_ content is just silly ...

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship) I think there is a big confusion or missunderstanding of what "friend" means. Friendship require rules, in that rules, not sharing our datas with someone else is one of them. There is small exceptions but Facebook is definitly not one of them. That would be my first "strike point" to respond to that stupid metaphore...
