Q. I'd like to have a full copy of the terms of service for Facebook prior to them reverting back to the old version. This document would be the controversial one that many news outlets have been posting about.
A. Facebook's terms of service (TOS) used to say that when you closed an account on their network, any rights they claimed to the original content you uploaded would expire. Not anymore.
Now, anything you upload to Facebook can be used by Facebook in any way they deem fit, forever, no matter what you do later.* Want to close your account? Good for you, but Facebook still has the right to do whatever it wants with your old content. They can even sublicense it if they want.
You hereby grant Facebook an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to (a) use, copy, publish, stream, store, retain, publicly perform or display, transmit, scan, reformat, modify, edit, frame, translate, excerpt, adapt, create derivative works and distribute (through multiple tiers), any User Content you (i) Post on or in connection with the Facebook Service or the promotion thereof subject only to your privacy settings or (ii) enable a user to Post, including by offering a Share Link on your website and (b) to use your name, likeness and image for any purpose, including commercial or advertising, each of (a) and (b) on or in connection with the Facebook Service or the promotion thereof.
That language is the same as in the old TOS, but there was an important couple of lines at the end of that section that have been removed:
You may remove your User Content from the Site at any time. If you choose to remove your User Content, the license granted above will automatically expire, however you acknowledge that the Company may retain archived copies of your User Content.
Furthermore, the "Termination" section near the end of the TOS states:
The following sections will survive any termination of your use of the Facebook Service: Prohibited Conduct, User Content, Your Privacy Practices, Gift Credits, Ownership; Proprietary Rights, Licenses, Submissions, User Disputes; Complaints, Indemnity, General Disclaimers, Limitation on Liability, Termination and Changes to the Facebook Service, Arbitration, Governing Law; Venue and Jurisdiction and Other.
Make sure you never upload anything you don't feel comfortable giving away forever, because it's Facebook's now.
(Note that as several readers have pointed out, this seems to be subject to your privacy settings, so anything you've protected from full public view doesn't seem to be usable in other ways regardless.)
Oh, you also agree to arbitration, naturally. Have fun with that.

What are some good websites for musical promotion?
Q. I have a band, we're entirely local, and we'd like to create some more buzz. What are some good websites to promote on (excluding the obvious Facebook)? We have some youtube videos and I'm looking to spread them around to people.
And before some jerkwad troll answers with some imitation of an answer they saw on Funnyjunk, save it, dude.

How do I force people to like my facebook page before accessing the accompanying website?
Q. I have a search site which I share, but I would like some more advertising for it.
So if someone likes a page on facebook, hes friends will see he likes that, they'll check out the page and maybe also like it.
But why would people like a page if it is just optional?
I've seen websites where you have to like a facebook page before having access to the website.
If you didn't like yet you see another screen which gives of course a like button.
Example: http://readysettroll.com/images.php?i=5UfhT
I also have a web page, a facebook page (app).
Can anyone make or give me a html code to do a thing like that?
Thanks

A. I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do, but you can't require people to 'like' your facebook page in order to visit your website. However, you can show one view of your facebook page to non-likers, and another to those who 'like' your page. This is only able to occur inside of an app, though. You will have to run ads or other promotions to the url of that app, instead of to the general page link. In order to get this functionality, you will want to install the HTML iframe app to your page. Just search for 'HTML' inside of facebook, then click 'apps' on the left side. The icon is a star. Install the app on your page, and it is pretty straight forward. This is called 'fangating'.
