Just got an un official takedown request from a nightclub which I will respectfully leave unnamed regarding a picture or two I have publicly shared on Facebook, forum and probably a few other places.
From my understanding and reading Facebook's terms and services I have done nothing wrong but then again I might be incorrect which would leave me, Well wrong.
Here are Facebook's terms regarding the uploading of images

You own all of the content and information you post on Facebook, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy and application settings. In addition:
- For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacyand application settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
- When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
- When you use an application, your content and information is shared with the application. We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content and information. (To learn more about Platform, read our Privacy Policy andPlatform Page.)
- When you publish content or information using the everyone setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
- We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about Facebook, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).
And here is a copy of the unofficial takedown email I received
Hi there,
A friendly notice at first regarding your facebook page, which has uploaded several of our pictures into your galleries. These are all our copyright and naturally I’d hate to have to take things further when I’m sure this is some kind of mistake made. Would you care to remove them from your galleries? Thankyou much.
I’ll hold off any further action for a little while to give you chance to comply with the request.
Regards
