As far as I can see, their typical terms and conditions can give them full copyright on your pictures :evil: . Probably irrelevant for most snaps but very relevant if you are uploading very good, high quality pictures such as some of the beautiful pictures Ise regularly posted here.
I copied the relevant condition from Flickr and I think this is pretty standard material. If I understand it correctly, they can do whatever they want with photos posted onto the site which are available to all viewers and you can do nothing about it and are entitled to nothing :evil: . I imagine they would not bother including such a provision unless they envisaged availing of the facility from time to time to make some money.
and I thought Flickr were one of the better ones :roll: this is one of the reasons I have my own site for hosting images, I give away more rights than I sell but at least those people have the manners to ask first.
Most of the stuff I lose is straight of the blog and not just images, one bunch of losers last year were taking text as well to generate search terms for a google adsense scam.
