I just heard on the news that they backed down.
They didn't back down, they were just mis-interpreted.

Not that i care because I would never use the service [if that is what it is called] anyway.
Pretty much sums up what I don't like about Instagram and why I don't use it.

I was out for eats and drinks at a local jazz place the other night and all around me folks are whipping out their smart phone, taking photos and doing whatever they do with 'em after that.
Nobody gives this kind of activity a second thought these days...
so why is it that every time I pull out a camera, I get at least one, usually several people standing around staring at me and asking dumb stuff like,
"What kinda camera is that?"
"can you still get film for that?"
"how many mega pixels is that?"
"Is that black and white?"
and the one I really dislike....
"Why would you use that?"
Why can't people just leave me the F&%^$ alone and let me photograph stuff like all the iPhone wielding people?
And no, I don't own a smart phone myself.
Brad, do you have something specifically against Apple and its iPhone, or don't you realize that the majority of "smart" phones sold are Android platform? Your complaint about the smart phone culture is well placed, but targetting specifically Apple without mentioning Samsung, et al, is simply unfair.
And no, I don't own a smart phone myself.

I guess my complaint is not about any technology (regardless of market share) but rather, my complaint is about people and their behavior.
and, no, I do not believe that the technology has necessarily caused the behaviour. In other words, I still believe that one can own and use a given technology without the technology displacing one's culture. I think it possible to own and use a smartphone without letting it get in the way of normal human face-to-face interaction. Unfortunately, possession of a smartphone, for many, separates them from their humanity. I see high school kids walking to school in a group...none of them are talkingt to one another nor even looking at each other...they're all staring down at the little smartphone..texting (maybe even texting each other), or doing whatever they do...same thing happened the other night at the jazz lounge...a bunch of adults all sitting together but, all intently interacting with the technology instead of with one another...

It's just written that way to cover them for when people share an image and they have no control over where it will appear. Same as Facebook.
I'm sure they have no intention to sell images despite what paranoid minds think!

Ahh, that British humor...They didn't back down, they were just mis-interpreted.
