Hey there, Fro Nation, and this week we have a pretty controversial type of raw talk.

0:14.7

It's not controversial for anything that we've done, but it's something that, well, we'll say Instagram did during the week or botched and then had to

0:23.3

re-correct and all of this good stuff. But before I explain more about what this week's

0:27.9

raw talk is about, I'm going to let you know that it's brought you by Allen's cammer.com.

0:32.5

Check out their new logo, by the way. I really like their new logo at allenscamera.com. They can help you with anything that you need.

0:38.6

All your camera needs in the United States. We'll leave it at that. And don't forget out with the Froeno's

0:42.6

photo beginner guide. If you're looking to get out of auto, you can pick that bad boy up. But other than that,

So we went and we went ahead and did a spree cast.

1:26.2

It was Adam and I and we brought it open to everybody else who wanted to join us on air.

1:31.6

And there were some really good questions, really good discussions about whether you'd leave Instagram or did you leave Instagram or what do you think about this.

1:41.4

And I will say that we recorded this before Instagram's co-founder or founder came

1:47.1

out with a PR release saying that they will not sell your images and they're rolling back on

1:53.5

what they said, going back to the original terms of service, and they're listening. So we didn't

1:59.9

know that they were not going to sell your work at the time.

2:03.9

We were going under the assumption that what they said in their new terms of services was that they would sell your work.
