BEWARE!!!
BEWARE!!! Posted By: Genealogy News Date: Wednesday, 28 December 2005, at 10:10 p.m. The claim which MyFamily, (the corporation which owns Ancestry.com, Family Tree Maker, RootsWeb & provides much of the USGenWeb space) now makes on any submitted or posted material to any of their sites is now irrevocable. If you submit material to any of their pages they will retain all rights to use it any way they wish. Be sure to read their current statement: 8. MyFamily.com, Inc's Proprietary Rights A. Subject to the Genealogy.com Privacy Policy, by inputting, uploading or posting any family tree information, data, family stories, ideas, drawings, opinions, messages, eyewitness accounts, or any other information or materials, or engaging in any other form of communication (each, a "Submission") through the Sites, you grant MyFamily.com, Inc. and its Affiliated Companies a royalty free, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, unrestricted, transferable, worldwide license to (i) use, copy, sublicense, adapt, transmit, distribute, publicly perform, archive, and display any such Submission in any medium now known or hereafter developed; (ii) exploit any proprietary rights in such Submission, including but not limited to rights under copyright, trademark, or patent laws in any relevant jurisdiction; and (iii) sublicense to third parties the unrestricted right to exercise any of the foregoing rights. For an example of "The Fine Print", you must dig deeply--check #8. You'd think something this important to the submitter would be front and center, rather than buried toward the end of the document! |
