Yahoo Policy on uploaded items...(for Grant - mostly)

2001-09-02 by Les Mizzell

In answer to Grants' question - below if from the Yahoo "Terms of Service".

Basically, from what I read, Yahoo claims NO ownership, but has the right to
use any image/file uploaded in any way they seem fit for the PROMOTION of
the particular group it was uploaded to.

Or am I a total idiot.....


8. CONTENT SUBMITTED OR MADE AVAILABLE FOR INCLUSION ON THE SERVICE

Yahoo does not claim ownership of Content you submit or make available for
inclusion on the Service. However, with respect to Content you submit or
make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service,
you grant Yahoo the following world-wide, royalty free and non-exclusive
license(s), as applicable:

With respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on
publicly accessible areas of Yahoo! Clubs and Yahoo! Groups, the license to
use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform and publicly
display such Content on the Service solely for the purposes of providing and
promoting the specific Yahoo! Club or Yahoo! Group to which such Content was
submitted or made available. This license exists only for as long as you
elect to continue to include such Content on the Service and will terminate
at the time you remove or Yahoo removes such Content from the Service.

With respect to photos, graphics, audio or video you submit or make
available for inclusion on publicly accessible area of the Service other
than Yahoo! Clubs or Yahoo! Groups, the license to use, distribute,
reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform and publicly display such Content
on the Service solely for the purpose for which such Content was submitted
or made available. This license exists only for as long as you elect to
continue to include such Content on the Service and will terminate at the
time you remove or Yahoo removes such Content from the Service.

With respect to Content other than photos, graphics, audio or video you
submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the
Service other than Yahoo! Clubs or Yahoo! Groups, the perpetual, irrevocable
and fully sublicensable license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify,
adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such
Content (in whole or in part) and to incorporate such Content into other
works in any format or medium now known or later developed.

"Publicly accessible" areas of the Service are those areas of the Yahoo
network of properties that are intended by Yahoo to be available to the
general public. By way of example, publicly accessible areas of the Service
would include Yahoo! Message Boards and portions of Yahoo! Clubs and Yahoo!
Groups that are open to both members and visitors. However, publicly
accessible areas of the Service would not include portions of Yahoo! Clubs
and Yahoo! Groups that are limited to members, Yahoo services intended for
private communication such as Yahoo! Mail or Yahoo! Messenger, or areas off
of the Yahoo network of properties such as portions of World Wide Web sites
that are accessible through Yahoo! Webring but are not hosted or served by
Yahoo.
