Actually having re-read it a few time I wonder if that clause may be going to far, I dunno, I guess it depends if there are many 'otherwise stated' exceptions. Oh, I am not a lawyer, I guess parts of that clause are a legal solution to some of the abusive ripoff leeching we've seen some sites do to blip content, but does it seem to also prevent some legitimate uses unless consent is sought? I like the big about creative commons.
