I am working on an app that imports photos from facebook. It creates a few "auto albums" for the users including one called "Photos of Me", which I think is pretty self explanitory (Yes, the "photos you're tagged in" one, provided by facebook).
Anyway, how do I deal with ownership of these photos within my app? do I...
Thanks
PS - it is also possible to do both, the app already supports multiple owners of a photo
update: I am aware that facebook provides this functionality already, That is how I'm getting the content to begin with :)
Also, we're only storing IDs, the question is whether it's a good idea to associate the photos (by id) with more than one owner on our site
The site is associating the photos because it allows users to do various actions with them, like aggregation (from lots of networks), creating a single rss feed, linking to a digital picture frame, etc. I just didn't think that was relevant to the question :/
Thanks again!
Per the facebook developer wiki, you're not allowed to store facebook user data for more than 24 hours unless you've specifically prompted the user for extended permissions. So you shouldn't be storing the photos themselves. You can store the photo ID's, but you probably wouldn't be asking this question if you were just storing ID's.
You may be able to get around that by specifically asking the user to import the photos into your application, but I don't see how this would be better than prompting for extended permissions, and you would be in a legal gray area.
