I can understand that. I'm probably going to delete it though as under the new TOS I'm basically relinquishing ownership of any articles / creative writing I produce. And the same applies to people who use Facebook to showcase their photography / artwork.
They're just shooting themselves in the foot - all this will do is boost the popularity of other social sites like DeviantArt etc.

I don't really care too much about them using my stuff so long as they aren't actually selling it or using it in adverts.
What I'm more concerned about is their data collection techniques and links to the CIA.

I thought the point of these additions
were that they continued to own whatever you uploaded there even if you delete your account.
What Facebook "owns" seems very open to interpretation, like the UK police photographs thing. I guess you'll have to wait until they try to do something evil to find out how much satanic power they actually have.
On the other hand Facebook is a pretty rubbish place to showcase your art/writing in the first place, unless you only want your friends to see it.
