well good news here on two fronts... There are actually 52 shades in the
photo and so I called the image "52 gray shades" added my tiny
copyright on the photo I loaded on cafepress and even called them to
run it by them - the tech helper was sure I wouldn't have any hassles
about it - it wasn't the photo, of course, it was the tagging and title
that I was concerned about... Meanwhile, cafepress gal thought it was
funny and got it right away.
So all is right with the world..
Thanks for the detail on the facebook copyright stuff.

I like both the photo and the pun!
Is it still the case that posting a photo on Facebook grants them the copyright?
Thanks, Rick!
Yikes - don't think so if I have only posted to friends. on this one I
didnt slap my watermark...
I usually do, but it is in the metadata.
However the copyright that is of more concern is being unable to use the
image on cafepress... unless I totally avoid the obvious keywords
"Copyright" isn't an all-or-nothing thing. Posting on Facebook doesn't
take away any of your rights to use or sell the photo. It gives them
the rights to display it and use it in any medium to promote Facebook.
Technically, they also have the right to sub-license your images to
any third party they want, but that's just a CYA to allow them to put
it on Akamai or other Content Delivery Network whose servers they use
to take load of Facebook's own servers.
At the present time, you just have to remove your photo from Facebook
and they lose these rights (in 30 days, IIRC, to allow for latency
issues with third-party CDN's).
Also, as far as I know, Facebook removes the metadata from uploaded
images, so that's a moot point.
