> Pro photos cost a lot of money to use and FB just gets them for free. Why?
a) Because the photographer uploaded it, granting a license to display it under the TOS
b) Because someone else uploaded it without permission and Facebook is protected by DMCA safe harbor provisions so long as they remove it upon request
> Also, big news corps have lots of correspondents and offices around the globe, which are expensive too.
Lots of things are expensive without creating some obligation for an unrelated third party to pay you for it.
